Summary of disruption: Contractor crews will begin demolition of the roof at the Don B. Huntley College of Agriculture (Building 2) starting on Monday, March 30. Crews will perform the work on weekdays from approximately 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Access around the building will be limited during the work. Equipment trucks will periodically and temporarily obstruct a pathway and loading area north of the building. Precautions will be taken to minimize the noise generated during removal and replacement of the roof. The project is expected to be completed by Monday, June 22.
