4/11/24 – 9/27/24 Hamilton MV Electrical Infrastructure Project (MNCH Parking Lot #34A and East Lawn Area) Advisory

Posted on by jepeters

Begin:  Thursday, April 11, 2024

End:      Friday, September 27, 2024

Building(s) or Area(s) Affected:  Knight Law, Museum of Natural and Cultural History, Global Scholars, the Longhouse, and the East Lawn

Scope:  Starting 4/11/24, EC Electric will begin mobilizing onsite, kicking off an electrical infrastructure project for Hamilton Hall to bring increased electrical redundancy and safety to the buildings in the area. Work will be taking place within (and will be taking over, sequentially) the Knight Law parking lot, and the East Lawn area – see attached site/traffic plan for a visual perspective. The project will begin with a first phase of groundwork occurring in the Knight Law MNCH parking lot #34A, with work taking place until June, during which time the parking lot will be offline (with the exception of ADA spaces – they will remain in use). Work will then pause during June, due to several conflicts in the area, and pick back up in July with excavation work in the East Lawn area. During this portion of work the lawn will potentially be closed to use until September. We are aware this is a high use area and accordingly the work within it will be expedited as much as possible. Note this sequencing is subject to change, as well as the timing, due to many competing considerations in the area and available timing to work around them. Any changes will be communicated as they arise.

Be advised, during the parking lot work there will be periods of loud noise and vibration. The most intrusive (shoring and pile driving) is intended to be performed, as much as possible, during off hours to minimize impacts. The second phase will be less impactful, with much less noise and vibration, but will affect pedestrian travel as a large area will be blocked off the work.

Affected building managers have been notified, and consulted with, towards how best to move through the project with the least disturbances to building occupants, and all available accommodations are being made. However, with such a large-scale project there will be some unavoidable noise, vibration, and general inconveniences, which will be limited as much as possible. There will also be minor electrical shutdowns along the way, but no major effects will be noticed. Any and all outages will be communicated and coordinate well ahead of time.

Thank you in advance for your understanding, as well as for your support of this Campus improvement project.

Tree Removal Notice 12/20

Posted on by lpitts

Campus Community,

On 12/20 Sperry Tree Care will be onsite removing an incense cedar tree. This will impact sidewalk access to the paths between Deady Hall and the west side of the old quad.

The incense cedar has unfortunately developed a considerable amount of decay behind some robust carpenter ant activity in the base of the tree. Its crown structure and live trunk are balanced upon a decreasing amount of sound wood and the tree’s proximity to frequently occupied sidewalks, benches necessitate its removal to protect life and property. This venerable veteran of North Campus has contributed positively to the atmosphere and ecology of the area for many decades and shall be missed by the University Community.

Please contact Phillip Carroll University of Oregon Landscape Maintenance Supervisor with any Questions or concerns concerning this process pcarroll@uoregon.edu

Date Change due to Weather: [SRC, STRAUB, LLC] Sidewalk Closure and Noise 3/1 – 3/2

Posted on by jepeters

Due to inclement weather this work has been rescheduled for March 1 – 2, 2018

________________________________________________________________

This notice has been sent to all building users:  SRC, Straub, LLC, Earl, Bowerman and Housing.

Campus Community,

This notice has been extended through February 23, 2018 ending at 12:00 (noon).  The sidewalk will remain closed for the duration of the work.  Please expect noise from the stump grinder between 9:00 am  – 12:00 pm (noon) on the 23rd.   Work will be performed by Long Tom Sawmill.

For questions or concerns please contact CPFM Facilities Services Arborist Becket DeChant at 505-699-7007.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Campus Users,

On Thursday, February 22nd, from 8:00 am until 2:30 pm, the south side of Straub, SRC, and LLC may be impacted by noise related to the removal of a Norway Maple tree.  Sidewalk access to the Student Rec Center from the east sidewalk on the south side of E. 15th will be closed, and East 15th Avenue will have periodic restrictions by trucks loading debris.

Old injuries to the trunk coupled with irreversible root rot fungus has resulted in the large cavity at the base of this tree. This development, when considered with the weight of the canopy above and the high traffic nature of the site necessitates its removal for pedestrian safety. The site will be re-planted in consultation with campus designers.

Work will be performed by Campus Planning and Facilities Management crews.

For questions or concerns about how this may impact your area, contact Phil Carroll, Campus Planning and Facilities Management (CPFM) Grounds Maintenance Manager at pcarroll@uoregon.edu.

1/22: [Museum of Natural & Cultural History] Tree Removal, Sidewalk and Building Entrance Closure

Posted on by lpitts

Building Occupants,

On Monday, January 22, 2018, from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm the Red Alder Tree on the north side of the Museum of Natural & Cultural History (MNCH) will be removed This red alder tree has, unfortunately, been infected by a phytopthera. This disease of plants causes a borderless canker on the trunk and branches that exudes a discharge that is an aesthetic issue for both the building and walkway as well as a contagion issue for other alder trees in the area.  Other alder trees on campus are infected with this disease and will be removed in the near future to attempt to limit the vector’s spread. This is regrettable but necessary.  CPFM will replant the site with a suitable species and consult with MNCH.

During this removal the sidewalk and employee entrance on the north side of the building will be temporarily closed.  There will be noise and congestion associated with this work.

For questions or concerns, please contact CPFM Arborist Becket Dechant at 505-699-700 or CPFM Landscape Supervisor Phill Carroll at 541-246-0031.

1/6/18: Tree Removal by Lot 11 and between [FRIENDLY & COLUMBIA]

Posted on by lpitts

Campus Community,

On January 6, 2018, from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm Sperry Tree Care will be on site removing the Oak tree located between Friendly and Columbia.  This tree has been displaying a decline in health and vigor over recent years.  Increasingly, large sections have been dying back and sizable limbs have fallen out during minor weather events.  The University’s arborist has identified several large limbs with substantial decay issues. The tree stands over a major traffic hub for pedestrians and cars parking in the lot adjacent to Friendly hall.  The likelihood of major sections breaking out, possibly targeting the many people who could be passing during inclement weather is troubling and needs to be addressed. We have not anticipated pedestrian closures, and parking lot 11 will remain open but expect possible temporarily delays by the contractor as trucks and equipment come and go from the plaza.   There will also be noise associated with this work.

For questions or concerns please contact CPFM Tree Arborist Becket Dechant or CPFM Landscape Supervisor Phill Carroll.

11/19: Tree Work Along Franklin by Villard

Posted on by lpitts

Building Occupants,

On Sunday, November 19, 2017, Sperry Tree Care will be onsite by Villard at the E 11th Ave and Franklin Blvd Merger.   Contractors will be performing tree maintenance on the oak tree that overhangs Franklin Blvd.  The equipment will be staged at Franklin Blvd, and there is a possibility the contractor will need to bring equipment down the sidewalk in front of Deady and Villard.    The city has approved this work, and the contractor has coordinated pedestrian and vehicular traffic control.  Please expect intermittent chainsaw noise associated with this work.

Please contact Becket Dechant 505-699-7007 or Phil Carrol with questions or concerns.
