Weed Campus Construction Projects

Student Housing:

Trenching across Parking Lot D will begin Thursday, July 23.

This project is to add and connect the sewer for the new student housing complex (Cedar Commons) and involves creating a trench and installing 40-60 feet of pipe per day. The area where the trenching will be happening will be marked. Limited parking in Lot D will be available during this project. Staff and students will be able to use the ESTC sidewalk to get from parking lot D to the Student Center. Lodge students will be able to use their sidewalk from the Lodges to Food Services.

The construction project will always keep ADA access. Please use caution when in construction zones.

Stage bus service has been notified and will pick up at the southeast corner of ESTC.

This project is expected to be completed by July 31.

Theater Arts and Mc Cloud Hall Reconstruction Project

The 杏吧 is moving forward with essential upgrades to McCloud Hall and the Theater Arts building, with both projects carefully designed to stay within the available budget. McCloud Hall upgrades will include updating the Ceramics Classroom and Exterior Ceramics Lab 鈥� such as equipment, HVAC, floor drains, and enclosure enhancements 鈥� as well as ADA restroom upgrades, locker improvements, and new interior and exterior paint. The Theater Arts building will be modernized, extending the building's lifespan by roughly 25 years through seismic strengthening, fire-life safety, and accessibility improvements, hazardous materials abatement, and a full roof replacement. Aside from required seismic and HVAC upgrades, the auditorium will remain unchanged to avoid triggering cost-prohibitive modifications. Together, these improvements will enhance safety, functionality, and learning environments across both facilities.
