Please be aware that there will be an increased amount of truck traffic during the morning hours next week as the steel is delivered to site. Safety continues to be a main focus of the entire project team and there will be additional police details on-site next week to manage the increase in truck traffic. Please continue to follow the path identified by construction barricades and signs and be ready to take direction from police officers and project staff when necessary.

These meetings are open to the University community and will be held in the project site office at 602 Commonwealth Avenue (basement of Morse Auditorium) unless otherwise noted. The schedule of these meetings is set through the fall semester (December 2015) and will be reexamined and/or reconfirmed for each semester as the project progresses.
The next communications meeting will be November 5th at 10:30 AM in the project site office at 602 Commonwealth Avenue.
