Boldt is planning to have a small crane on-site Thursday, March 23, from 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM. They plan to put barriers around the crane and flag off the areas under where they are picking. Access to Warch will not be affected.

Facilities Operations asks that you please practice safety and be aware of your surroundings while in the area. Please let us know if there are any questions or concerns. As always thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Thank you everyone for your patience and attention to safety as we executed a very large portion of the freight elevator project at the Warch Campus Center on Tuesday. Looking forward, we have concrete work taking place on Friday the 20^th and some small crane work on Tuesday the 24^th. After that, the work out in front of Warch should be minimal. As always, safety first please!

Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out: katherine.lehman@lawrence.edu

On Tuesday, January 17^th, the penthouse for the new freight elevators is being hoisted on to the roof of Warch Campus Center. Due to having a large crane on E. Boldt Way, there will be barricades in place and people supervising for foot traffic safety. However, please be aware and cautious of your surroundings at all times while in the area. Inside Warch, there will be areas and a stairwell caution-taped off for safety. Please do not enter these areas. Please note that the freight elevators will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, the 16^th and 17^th, and the link/hallway between Sage Hall and Warch will also be closed on Tuesday, the 17th.

The freight elevator replacement has begun in the Warch Campus Center. On Tuesday, the 17^th, there will be a 100 ton crane in front of Warch to lift and place the elevator penthouse. Please note that the freight elevators will not be operable on the 16^th and 17^th, but the passenger elevator will still be available. Please be aware and cautious of your surroundings while in the area. Should you have any question or concerns, please contact: katherine.lehman@lawrence.edu

Please note, the Wellness Center elevator is out of order. Because of a delay in the necessary materials, it will not be operable for approximately two months. We appreciate your understanding while we deal with the material lead time issues.
