The seismic retrofit project has experienced some significant delays over the past year that have caused the final completion date for the project to be extended beyond the original contract date.

Retrofit projects have a degree of unanticipated work that occurs due to the necessity of correcting “as-found” conditions that are discovered as a project evolves, the actual nature and volume of work that needs to be completed is unknown until it is uncovered.

The new total completion date for the seismic retrofit project is now April 10, 2020 and the new anticipated occupancy date for the lower level of the Library is March 16, 2020.

Thank you to the campus community for your continued patience and support as we work through this last phase of the project.
