Throughout the past month, construction projects across campus have continued to change the Meramec campus irrevocably, and will continue to do so in the coming months.
After a successful groundbreaking ceremony attended by 130 spectators in the Library Quad on Sept. 8, interior demolition began in the Business Administration building. Many of the interior walls within the building have been removed as of press time. In addition, the canopy between the building and the Social Sciences building is currently in the process of being removed, and that entrance to Social Sciences remains closed at this time. A new ADA accessible ramp has been added on the north side of the building in the meantime.
In addition to the canopy demolition, the demolition of the walkway bridge between Communications North and South is estimated to begin next Monday, Oct. 9. The area under the bridge, and the adjacent entrance to Communications North, will be blocked off later this week, and students, staff and other visitors will be detoured to other entrances, according to information provided by STLCC’s Marketing and Communications District Coordinator Skye Lufsey.
In preparation for the demolition, a temporary wall has been added on the second floor of Communications North to separate the walkway from the building, allowing for a less intrusive presence in Communications North.
