Knight Campus – LISB – Franklin Bridge Connection Advisory 7/7/20 – 8/24/20

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE 7/16/20:

During the week of 7/20/20, the exterior curtain wall will be removed and temp walls and doors will be built at the north end of the 2nd and 3rd floor corridors. Construction workers will be entering and exiting the building and working in the corridors.

 

 

 

The long awaited connection between Knight Campus (the Franklin Bridge) and LISB is in front of us. As of July 7, work will commence to connect the Franklin Bridge from Knight Campus to LISB.

This work consists of demolition of some brick from the north face of the building, removal of glazing in the 2nd and 3rd floor corridor that aligns with the bridge, which will take about 3 days. Areas that are opened up due to this work will be temporarily weather protected and secured.

There will then be about one month’s worth of work to reconfigure masonry support, infill required openings, reinstall glass in the 3rd floor corridor, and tie the bridge in to the building. This work will run through the first two weeks of August.

August 13-24th will see the finalization of work in that area including, the addition of rubber flooring in LISB (matches other rubber flooring in the building), the installation of acoustic panels in the hallway on the second floor (to reduce noise reverberation), and the installation of sound seals on the hallway doors of the second floor offices.

We will be installing a temporary barrier at the north end of each the third and fourth floor corridors for security reasons. We will be looking towards moving occupants into Knight Campus following Labor Day. The opening of the bridge to foot traffic will occur at some point shortly after move in is complete.
