Type: Utility Work
Please be aware that there will be utility work conducted on the North Golf Course starting early next week. The work will involve conducting hydrothermal drilling/testing and may cause some damage to the testing site. Utility work will involve a 30-foot-tall drill rig, a water truck, and a mud truck. The areas will be fenced off with signs. Work is starting Monday and is expected to last 2-3 days.
North Golf Course: Although the utility work is far away from residential buildings on the extended, Northeast edge of the North Golf Course, there may be some inconvenience to normal operations on the course. We are working to minimize any potential damage and plan to restore the area to its previous condition once the work is complete.

The areas are fenced off from the golf course and construction signage and cones will be set up before work begins.
Although the work is far away from residential buildings on the extended, Northwest edge of the North Golf Course, there may be some inconvenience to normal operations on the course. We are looking to get more funding for a future project that includes permanent fencing of the area to prevent future dumping in the area.
Location: Redondo Drive Parking Spaces & Centennial Engineering Center
Estimated Timeframe: Wednesday, 04/17/24 – Thursday, 05/14/24
Type: HVAC Replacement
We would like to inform you about an upcoming HVAC replacement estimated for Wednesday, April 17. The work will involve cranes on-site and will create increased noise in the surrounding areas. This replacement will necessitate temporary changes in the vicinity of Redondo Drive and the Centennial Engineering Center, as outlined below:
April 18 some parking spaces along Redondo will be blocked off to facilitate the plans. PATS is working to relocate cars in the impacted area. Once the crane is on-site and set up, our presence will primarily be concentrated within the designated work area. The delivery truck and crane work should be complete by the end of the day, April 18. On Thursday, April 18 there will be increased noise levels on the north side of Centennial Engineering Center.
Updates
The HVAC replacement project, initially scheduled for April 16th with delivery and crane setup planned between the Ford Building and Centennial Engineering, has been rescheduled to May 9, from 6:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m., due to logistical adjustments. During this period, temporary restrictions will be in place in the alley between the Ford Utilities Building and the Centennial Engineering Building. Additionally, four parking spots across from the double gates into the alley between Ford and Centennial on Redondo will be closed to facilitate crane and semi-trailer movement. However, unforeseen circumstances, including winds and crane availability issues, have necessitated pushing back the project completion date to the end of the day on May 14. Fortunately, the units are now on site, eliminating the need for the parking spaces on Redondo. Going forward, all remaining work until May 14 will be conducted in the alley between the Centennial Engineering Building and the Ford Utility Building.
Location: East of Scholes Hall
Estimated Timeframe: Late June 2024
Type: Tree Removal
Over the years, Facilities Management has been actively managing several defects on the large cottonwood tree located just east of Scholes Hall. Unfortunately, a recent limb failure has necessitated the immediate removal of the entire tree due to safety concerns. The removal process has already begun, but will take several days to complete. Our priority is to ensure safety, particularly over the weekend. We plan to remove enough of the canopy to mitigate any immediate risks, and barricades will be placed accordingly.
