UPDATE 4/15/21:
Fence demo and installation to occur starting Tuesday, 4/20.
Construction work will start at the northside of the North Sculpture Building A next Tuesday, 4/20 through Thursday, 4/22. This may disrupt activity at the North outdoor covered sculpture work space during this time.
Work will also occur at the Northeast yard of the complex, southeast corner by the Kiln Shed, North & South Porticos until Friday, April 30th.
Users can expect typical construction noise. UO, Island Fence, and ADT staff, their vehicles, equipment and materials will be on site during normal business hours. Portions of fence may be down before new fencing is installed for a periodic moment.

We’ll update notices with access and safety info as necessary as the project progresses.

UPDATE 2/17/21:
Facilities plans to block the North Portico area (see sketch) starting Wednesday, Feb 24th until Friday, Feb 26th. The work will involve excavation, cutting, grinding and some possible jackhammering.

The area of concern will be closed for your safety. The North Sculpture Fine Arts Studio Building A can be accessed by entering at the South Portico area and going through the Fine Arts Studio Building B. The area will reopen after this period but construction will be ongoing through the end of March.
