Summertime is project time, and
the Office of Physical Plant on the University Park campus has been
very busy working on its "to-do" list. At top, A.J. Bechdel holds
a rule while Joe McNichol surveys the area behind Old Main. A new, east-west,
raised sidewalk is being installed behind Old Main. It will run from
Schwab Auditorium to the steps leading toward McAllister Building and
will be composed of brick pavers. The project also includes new concrete
north-south sidewalks, six new disease-resistant elm trees and improved
landscaping between Old Main and McAllister Building. This project will
improve pedestrian movement across campus as recommended by the Campus
Master Plan. The work should be completed around Aug. 17. Above,
Terry Watters does some routine maintenance, touching up some window
trim on the north side of Schwab Auditorium. Below, Shortlidge
Road across from Eisenhower Auditorium is being excavated and is closed
to traffic. Most of the construction there is related to the new chemistry
and life sciences buildings, although some of the work is being done
to prepare utilities for the coming development of parking lot 80. In
addition, the bottom of Shortlidge Road between College Avenue and McKean
Road will be closed to all traffic from
7 p.m. Friday, July 27, through 5 a.m. Monday, July 30, for repaving.
This will be the first application on campus of a special high-performance
paving material. Paving dates are weather dependent.
