The Smash/Muir Water Intrusion Project represents a comprehensive campus-wide endeavor aimed at revitalizing and enriching our educational infrastructure. This initiative involves a complete revamp of roofing systems, stucco, windows, doors, and flooring, alongside substantial structural enhancements. A crucial component of this renovation is ensuring that all classrooms and restrooms meet Americans with Disabilities Act compliance standards, integrating a range of additional improvements. We're pleased to announce that Buildings A, B, C, and D have received Division of the State Architect (DSA) approval, with Construction Change Directives submitted for each building awaiting further review and approval by the DSA.

An essential goal of this project is to guarantee the comprehensive waterproofing and sealing of the entire campus. This entails meticulous care to uphold the integrity of building envelopes, ensuring that all structures are impermeable to water infiltration and environmentally sound. This precaution is crucial for the durability of campus buildings and the safety and well-being of its occupants.

The goal is to finish the project in preparation for the fall 2025 academic session, providing students with a revitalized, secure, and cutting-edge educational setting.

Project Progress Update:

• Concrete pouring for the footings of Buildings C & D is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
• Ongoing installation of bottom rebar for all buildings.
• Active pull tests and inspections of rebar across all buildings.
• Progressing removal of exterior stucco across the entire campus.
