Q1 2024 Project Update
Chapman / Newell Instructional Building
Surveying for the interior foundation grade beams and footings progressed in February. Crews performed excavations on the building foundation grade beams and interior footings following site dewatering due to the severe weather in mid-February.
Work is underway for the assembly of the wood formwork around the footings and grade beam below the surface level. Reinforcement bars and structural column anchor bolts were placed in preparation for concrete pours in the third week of March.
The Design Team addressed the deferred submittal to DSA for the building's façade. Upon completion in the upcoming weeks, the finalized submittal will be sent to the State agency for review and approval. A commissioning kickoff meeting was held by the Design-Builder on March 22.
The Campus Project Team is coordinating with Southern California Edison (SCE) for the establishment of a new power supply connection for the future building. An initial coordination meeting took place in early March. Adjustments to the path of travel leading out and away from the Veterans Courtyard are underway for the future placement of a transformer in the same area while meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Follow-up meetings are planned to occur closer to the time of equipment delivery and installation activities.
