Academic and Student Affairs Remodel: Demo Day Begins

Demolition is officially underway for the Academic and Student Affairs office remodel. This phase focuses on removing existing finishes and systems to prepare the space for new infrastructure, improved layouts, and upgraded services. Completing demolition allows the project team to assess existing conditions and begin building toward a more efficient, accessible, and student‑focused office environment. This milestone moves the project from planning into active construction as we work toward delivering a refreshed ASA space.

Academic and Student Affairs Remodel: Demolition Phase Update

Demolition work is actively underway for the Academic and Student Affairs office remodel. Existing finishes have been removed, ceilings opened, and outdated building systems exposed to allow for necessary upgrades. Crews are clearing the space and preparing it for new mechanical, electrical, and structural improvements. This phase is essential to ensure the new ASA offices can support modern technology, improved accessibility, and a more efficient layout. Following demolition, construction will move into rebuilding and installation of new finishes and systems.

Academic and Student Affairs Remodel: Framing Underway

With demolition complete, construction has moved into the framing phase. New metal wall studs are being installed to establish the layout of offices, corridors, and service areas. This work represents a major transition from clearing space to building the structure of the new ASA offices.

Academic and Student Affairs Remodel: Offices Taking Shape

As wall framing continues, individual offices and shared spaces are becoming clearly defined. The new layout reflects improved functionality and workflow, supporting future installation of electrical, mechanical, and technology systems. Visible progress highlights the transformation from open construction space to a recognizable office environment.
