June 2023 – December 2024
To enhance our students’ living experience here at Campus North Residential Commons, we are working in partnership with University Facilities Services and Mortensen Construction to remove the existing caulk around the exterior of all windows, add new caulk, and reseal the windows. This renovation is designed to prevent weather elements from seeping into windows and causing discomfort to students.
Impacts to residents:
- Construction has started and will conclude in December 2024
- Facilities Services will escort a construction worker to students’ rooms to remove their window handles for safety and security reasons and reinstall the handles once construction work has been completed on their elevation
- Our construction partners will work at various elevations across Campus North towers in 5–6–week intervals, but we anticipate construction workers will work directly on a specific window for four days total.
- Construction workers can set up before 9am, but work will only be completed between 9am-4:30pm.
- Although work is anticipated to be completed during the weekday, some weekend work may need to happen due to elements outside of our control (e.g., weather) to keep us on schedule
- Our Residents will receive an email from us informing them that a member of the Facilities Services staff will be going to rooms with a construction worker to remove window handles during a set time before work begins.
- Construction workers will not have access to occupied resident rooms without being escorted by Facilities Services staff
- Window handles will be reinstalled once work has been completed at a resident’s elevation.
- All rooms will remain properly ventilated due to our comprehensive radiant system that actively monitors the temperature in student spaces.
- The main entrance and exits of the building will remain accessible to students and the neighboring retail spaces will remain open during this project.
Why now: In the past, we have tried temporary solutions to minimize the inconvenience to students which only prolonged the overarching issue. We are committed to completing this project to ensure that students can feel at home at Campus North residential Commons moving forward.
