Much of Queen’s University’s administration is now officially housed at 355 King Street West, with renovations and most relocations to the site now complete. The consolidation of administrative units in the new building will allow the university to free up and renovate more space in the central campus for academic and research-focused purposes.

The university renovated and is occupying three wings of the former St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital building (areas previously known as the South, East and Sister’s wings). These wings are now home to Financial Services, Investment Services, Internal Audit, Campus Security and Emergency Services, Environmental Health and Safety, Insurance and Risk Management, Strategic Procurement Services, Postal Services, Facilities, and the Office of the Vice-Principal Research.

The university bought the site from Providence Care in 2017, and construction started in 2021. Environmental sustainability was a key consideration in the work that was done. The project adapted the

– A contemporary architecture that integrates the volumetric diversity of the existing building,

– A structural and insulation implementation makes it possible to restore coherence to

On a nearly unbearably hot Thursday afternoon, volunteers and employees from the State College Food Bank strapped on their hard hats and picked up their shovels for a groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the food bank’s new location.

The food bank announced in June 2022 it would be moving to 169 Gerald St. — the former home of Apple Hill Antiques — but will continue operations at its 1321 S. Atherton St. location until renovations are complete.

Construction on the $4.3 million project, which includes gutting the interior as well as major renovations to the parking lot, will begin on Monday. The new location will not only provide double the space but also help consolidate services for families in need, executive director Allayn Beck said.

“We want to make sure that we’re able to serve all the individuals and families coming through our doors but also be our support system for all

Temple Square renovation update: 1st base isolator installed

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

The first of 98 base isolators has been installed as part of the ongoing Salt Lake Temple renovations, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced this week.

Base isolators are mechanical devices that isolate the earth’s movement from the building above during a seismic event, according to the Church’s news release on ChurchofJesusChrist.org dated May 23. A single base isolator weighs 18,000 pounds but can carry a weight of 8 million pounds. Installing isolators will allow the temple to move horizontally up to five feet in any direction during an earthquake.

The first base isolator was placed May 3 on the new footing on the temple’s west side. The new footings surround the towers on the east and west ends of the temple, extending down 35 feet and away from the original structure.

The base isolator’s installation marks a major milestone for the renovation project that began in

Renovation

Less than a week before its long-awaited reopening, contractors and staff at the Coral Gables Branch Library were busy refinishing the grand entrance double doors and transferring books from small rolling carts to dust-free bookcases.

Miami-Dade Public Library System Director Ray Baker said the renovation process was at “the end of the line,” with only final touches remaining after two years since the doors closed in April 2021.

The revamped library will reopen on Monday to the public.

The changes included replacing the roof, installing impact-resistant windows and updating the electrical and data wiring system. The library also added new furniture, carpeting, lighting, computers, ample seating options, an updated staff lounge and fully-renovated bathrooms.

Baker said 35% of the books and materials in the library’s collection are now brand new and “fresh out of the box.”

The price tag for the first major renovation to the 1968 building: $6.8

Surprise home renovation for Sandy’s family facing terminal illness

Estimated read time: 5-6 minutes

SANDY — At the Boyle family home in Sandy they have a motto, a phrase that guides Jeremy and Amelia and their six children.

“Amelia says if you have something good, share it,” neighbor Emilie Wright said. “That’s just the hallmark of her life, and so we have something good, and we want to share that with her.”

Over the last year, finding that good has been a challenge. Jeremy Boyle, 44, a marriage and family therapist, was diagnosed with a rare and terminal neurodegenerative condition called multiple system atrophy, and his body is shutting down.

“It’s difficult for him to get up and down the stairs, to function like he used to, he’s really active and handy and he’s not able to do what is as well as he used to without a lot of pain,” said Wright.

ODOT Reveals Proposed Renovation of I-44 Interchange in Catoosa

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

Many people say the I-44 to Highway 412 junction needs to be overhauled and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation agrees. ODOT held a meeting to show people the two different options.

OPTION ONE:

In option one, the option ODOT preferred, I-44 would straighten three lanes in each direction.

ODOT says it will allow for increased speed and will add a two-lane road from I-44 east to SH-66 NB exit right.

The exit will be across the top of I-44.

That will reconnect the 193 to 66 north.

Option 1 was the preferred alternative because I-44 WB was straight, I-44’s design speed was 75 mph, a right-hand exit from I-44 EB to SH-66 NB was desired, and a 193rd East Avenue connection to SH-66 NB was included.

OPTION TWO:

Option two will be similar to the current layout.

I-44 WB curves with a speed limit of 65mph.

I-44 EB is a

New Cajun Field renovation timeline after 2023 season | Cajun UL Ragin

Posted on By Kartika
Renovation

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has announced that the renovation of the Cajun Field at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium will not affect the upcoming fall football season.

In June 2021, UL and Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center announced that the hospital purchased the naming rights to the stadium for $15 million, which will help fund the project. At the time, officials said they expected work to start “at some point after the 2022 football season”.

But on Monday, the athletics department assured fans planning to buy or renew 2023 season tickets that their seats would not be moved.

The demolition process is now expected to begin after the 2023 season, and the new projected timeline is “18 to 24 months”, indicating an anticipated completion and opening date in time for the 2025 season.

“It’s very time-consuming and very slow,” said UL athletic director Bryan Maggard. “We
