BUSINESS CENTER CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Over the past two weeks construction activity at the William E. and Ann L. Swan Business Center has concentrated on completing the enclosure for winter weather. The roof is insulated and weather-tight, and temporary covers are in place over the areas where glass will eventually be installed. Utilities are hooked up, and temporary heat will be in place by the end of today.

In addition, almost all of the interior walls have been framed, and the metal studs are ready for drywall. Over the next two weeks, workers will install the framing for the peaked roof deck where roof tiles will go later. Electricians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers are installing the mechanical systems, and we expect work on interior stairways to begin.

See construction photos at www.sbu.edu/construction.
