This is an update on the Jen-Hsun Huang & Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex.
Truck traffic and activity will increase on SW 26th St. from SW Western Blvd. to NW Monroe Ave. on Monday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 14. Construction will begin on a tower crane that will be built within the fenced construction site and operate throughout the duration of the project.
The tower crane will be actively working on a daily basis in a highly visible location. While the crane boom radius does extend over Monroe Ave., the CEOAS Admin Building and Johnson Hall, crane loads will NOT be lifted over these areas for safety reasons.
When the crane is unmanned and inactive, building occupants and those in the surrounding area may notice the crane boom swinging back and forth in a freely moving, “weathervane” state. While this may appear concerning, it is actually an important safety requirement that allows the crane to remain stable in windy conditions.

The NW Natural Gas service switchover originally scheduled for Wednesday, April 24 has been rescheduled for Friday, April 26.
NW Natural Gas will be performing a natural gas service switchover in areas along Washington Way between SW 35th St and SW 30th St. The A.A Red Emmerson Advanced Wood Products Laboratory will be without natural gas service for the entire day. The switch over requires draining the line, which creates a very loud noise (similar to a jet engine) as pressure is released. There will also be a natural gas odor at this time which will naturally dissipate into the atmosphere. This is standard operating procedure for a natural gas switch over.
