Construction Alerts

1. Walkway between Alway and Fairchild (From the Deans Lawn to LKSC)

1st Notice: The walkway in the noted area will be severely impacted starting on June 15, 2009. The construction will start immediately following graduation weekend. The closure is required to connect Li Ka Shing (LKSC) to campus utilities. In addition to connecting LKSC, this work will be improve utility connections for the entire SoM campus.

All attempts will be made to keep a path of travel open throughout construction. Any localized closures will be relayed via e-mail to the building lists and a detour route will be established. All buildings will continue to have at least one access maintained at all times. Please consider alternate paths of travel throughout the construction. Duration of construction will be announced shortly.

2. Walkway between CCSR and SIM1 (South of CCSR)

1st Notice: The walkway in the noted area will be blocked for the construction of Academic Walk starting in late June 2009. The walkway in the CCSR Atrium and the walkway north of CCSR will continue to be open throughout construction. Academic Walk will be open for pedestrians and bikes by the end of the Connective Elements construction in Spring 2010.

3. Steam Shutdown

2nd Notice: The CoGen plant will be making significant changes to the School of Medicine/Hospital steam system. The shutdown will start on June 19th. Campus is installing a steam valve cluster along campus drive that will provide additional flexibility in how steam is delivered through the entire medical center system. In addition, modifications will be made within the Hospital that may affect School of Medicine users. These changes are being completed in the summer, when steam demand is at its lowest point. Please refer to the Engineering and Maintenance (E&M) 30 day notice sheet for specifics, including exact time and dates, duration, and which systems will be affected.

Complete! Spring 2009: Questions about the new loading dock? Please contact Mr. Jim Berrla at:

5. RAF Ramp Relocation

Complete! Spring 2009: The ramp connection to Campus drive is now complete. With the opening of the loading dock, the remaining infrastructure changes are being made to the loading dock at the west end to allow for the construction of Discovery Walk.

6. LKSC Building

The focus of work on LKSC has shifted from primarily a structural and exterior project to now focusing on the interior construction. There are still a few exterior spaces that are under construction. The contractors have erected a very large support system to hang all of the panels for the underhanging roof. While the rate of exterior change has diminished, the interior work has ramped up considerably. The project team is focusing on having the interior construction completed and ready for the AV crews to start by late summer, early Fall 2009. Given the technology prowess of the new building, the installation of these systems require a considerable amount of time. The project is on schedule.

7. School of Medicine Sitework

The LKSC site work has shifted into high gear. The project has just completed the re-roofing of the two underground buildings. The final concrete work associated with the new School of Medicine master plan is being put into place. Soon south facing portions of CCSR, Beckman, Fairchild and west facing Clark Center rooms will have a wonderful view of the new School’s front entrance. The construction of the front entrance is on schedule for completion on time. For those off campus or located in the Stone Complex, a wonderful place to see the new site work come alive can be found on the website at:

lksc.stanford.edu

The project is on schedule.

8.Lokey Stem Cell Building

The Lorry I. Lokey Stem Cell Research Building has started adding the exterior skin panels that will create its final appearance. The building has made substantial interior rough construction progress as well. The basement is 70% framed with the higher floors having a lower percentage. Nearly all of the primary fire separation walls are built throughout the facility. The IT infrastructure for the building is being put into place starting June 2009. The interstitial decking between the first floor and the ground floor is now complete and the mechanical systems are quickly being snapped together. The project is on schedule.

9.Campus Drive Realignment

Modifications at CoGen, including the steam system upgrades and the ongoing construction of the Lorry I. Lokey Stem Cell Research building have halted construction on campus drive work. The overall schedule for the the realignment is still on track for opening at the same time as the Lokey Building by Summer 2010.
