Fleming Building Construction Set to Begin
We are excited to
announce some long awaited plans to
construct a new building to house
the undergraduate Biology and
Chemistry teaching labs which will
be underway soon. This project will
move the 40-year-old laboratories
out of Fleming and Old Science into
a brand new building that will be
located along Cullen at Entrance 14
just west of Fleming and McElhinney.
Construction began on July 6,
2010, with completion scheduled by
July 2011.
The area on the west side of
McElhinney from the main entrance,
north to Entrance 14 will be fenced
as the construction site. The front
entrance stairs located on the
Cullen Boulevard side will not be
accessible. To enter McElhinney from
the west, you will have to walk down
to the south end of the building,
then up the covered walkway. The
fence along Cullen will block the
sidewalk. There are two crosswalks
south of the construction site where
pedestrians can cross Cullen. The
nearest accessible routes to cross
Cullen are the signals at Entrance
13 and Entrance 14 (north of the
construction site). Also, once the
work starts, it will be loud at
times.
Below is a map of the affected
area.
