CONSTRUCTION NOTICE

We have several construction-related activities happening this summer on the San Francisco campus:

• Work will continue on the new student housing facility at 188 Hooper Street; please see the construction schedule below for some key dates to be aware of.
• We must drill under the Backlot at 1111 8th Street—where the future Double Ground expansion of the main academic building would sit—for testing purposes; to accommodate this work, we will move the shipping containers on May 6 so drilling may take place May 7 through May 17.
• The bathrooms in 184 Hooper Street (GC 1) will close after May 10 to receive a much-needed overhaul; they will reopen for summer classes in July as all-gender restrooms with three stalls each.
• In the main academic building at 1111 8th Street, we will convert the Helzel Boardroom into two classrooms flanked by two small phone rooms in addition to upgrading some of the building’s mechanical systems; this work will start in earnest on May 28 (workers will be onsite the week before to inspect the building) and continue through the end of August.

WHAT TO EXPECT: All community members on the San Francisco campus can expect the continuation of existing site conditions around 188 Hooper Street (concrete and other large trucks lined up around and driving to/from the site; workers and equipment in the streets; changes to parking, sidewalks, and crosswalks; occasional street closures) as well as additional workers and equipment onsite at the various work areas (the Backlot, 184 Hooper Street, and 1111 8th Street) throughout the summer. Individuals working near any of the work areas can expect some noise and commotion during this time.

The Helzel Boardroom work will close the two flanking classrooms and the stretch of hallway directly in front of the room; while no other rooms will be closed during this time, the rooms closest to the construction zone can expect noise and additional foot traffic from workers accessing the area. Individuals needing access to the surrounding spaces will be able to travel via the following routes:

Helzel Boardroom construction impact: Paths of travel around the Boardroom during construction this summer are shown in green.

Other parts of the 1111 8th Street building may be subject to short-term (i.e. a day or two) closure throughout the summer as we upgrade the building’s mechanical systems. Classes have been scheduled with this in mind; additionally, we will work closely with the contractor to schedule work of this nature to minimize disruptions and will provide as much notice as possible via email and physical signage in the building.

Please be aware of your surroundings, read all posted signage, and/or follow directions from construction personnel.

This work will continue through August and finish in time for classes in September.

End of May into mid-June: There are two concrete pours for the 188 Hooper Street project that must be done from Carolina Street; around May 22 and again around June 13, Carolina Street will go down to one lane of through traffic with construction personnel directing vehicles on either end. This may also mean no street parking in front of 80 Carolina Street but access to the 80 Carolina Street parking lot will remain.
