UO crews tackle summer repairs ■The beginning of summer classes also marks the start of various summer maintenance projects around campus By Michelle Meuwissen Oregon Daily Emerald They get up early, making noise and working throughout the day. Crews work while days are long, fewer students roam the campus and weather is supposed to be at its best. Summer repair projects begin along with summer classes at the University. People may have seen or heard the work being done, but what is it all for? “We try to do more major im provements over the summer. Some of this would be impossible to do if the dorms were full,” Exterior Team supervisor Tim King said. While general upkeep is ongoing, there are a few focuses for repair and con struction crews this summer. The ongoing construction on the Lillis Business Complex will up date business facilities and make more room for future students. Pacific Hall will receive a makeover this summer, with repair work on multiple floors of the build ing. Crews are working on ceilings in 16 Pacific and remodeling lab spaces in the ecology department. “The departments hire us to make improvements around campus; Pa cific is our focus this summer,” Con struction Team supervisor Mike Han neson said. The University wants to make space in Pacific Hall for new faculty — in anticipation of more than 3,000 new students this fall. A crew has installed three solar Michael J.

This initial phase is intended to build awareness about renewable energy and the EMU so lar project. Other repair projects in the EMU include extensive recarpet ing, plumbing work and running water lines to the lawns. “There is a lot of work to be done,” EMU Facili ties Manager Dana Winitzky said. “We’re just trying to work it all in. ” According to Director of Campus Operations George Hecht, certain times of the year are not good for construction. “There are money considerations and weather fac tors,” Hecht said. “Noise, smells and limited room are also factors.” Ground repair is another project being tackled this summer. The Uni versity has identified areas of the Humpy Lumpy Lawn main walk way as a trip hazard and two-thirds of it will be replaced in August. “Safety issues usually take priori ty,” King said. “We’re trying to fit the need for campus safety by work ing on the key parts of campus.” Along with sidewalk repairs, lighting improvements on campus are another focus for crews to accom modate safety needs. Lighting addi tions may happen this summer, but budget aspects can interrupt repairs. “Other improvements are needed, but we’re operating on a tighter budget now,” King said. “We try to do what we can—we just don’t have as much money for improvements around campus as we would like.” Michelle Meuwissen is a freelance reporter for the Emerald.
