Construction work to begin near Bostwick and Johnson residence halls

Utility work will begin this week between Bostwick and Johnson Residence Halls, weather permitting. Construction fencing will be installed that will partially block pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk between Bostwick and Johnson heading from the Gulley Dr./Manchester Plaza area toward Collins Residence Hall. Pedestrians will have access to the sidewalks going directly to each building as well as the set of steps leading to Collins on the Johnson side of the courtyard.

The utility work is expected to continue through December. This project is the first step leading into the full renovation of Bostwick and Johnson Halls, which is scheduled to begin in January 2022. The current residents of Bostwick and Johnson will be relocated to the newly renovated Luter Hall prior to the start of renovations on Bostwick and Johnson.

Landscaping plan

The exterior improvements to Bostwick and Johnson necessitate the removal of some aging trees, but the new landscaping plans include the replanting of the trees in a near 2:1 ratio.
