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 is scheduled to start
on June 22, 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, pedestrians 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.
