As part of the Research Way Building Library Archives project, work will occur in the basement of the Research Way Building. Insulation mock-up work at the ceiling will happen starting around the first part of January 2021. The Research Way Building is located at 4700 SW Research Way in Corvallis. We are providing this early notification to the building users, and to those who visit from campus, that this activity may have the possibility of fumes and smells during the installation time. The mock-up work will occur during the first or second week of January 2021 and is anticipated to take three days to complete. Our general contractor will post signs at entry points into the basement to warn users of the insulation activity during this installation.

Road closures are scheduled around West Campus residence halls to support work related to the Buxton, Hawley and West roof replacement projects. Work is scheduled to take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 18, 2020. Work will start at 8 a.m. at SW Intramural Lane south of West Hall. Once complete, work will transition to the west end of Hawley Hall and obstruct SW Sackett Place and the east sidewalk. Then, work will shift to the north of Hawley Hall and Buxton Hall, and one lane of SW Jefferson Way will be closed along with the south sidewalk. Next, work will shift to SW Weatherford Place and will close the road as well as the west sidewalk. Each portion of work is anticipated to take approximately two hours to stage and pick the supplies to the roofs of the buildings. Intramural parking lot #3294 will also be impacted while work takes place.
