With preparation work nearly complete at the construction site for the F.W. Olin Center, the traffic circle to the east of the Reamer Campus Center is to be open until mid-April, according to William Shafer, capital projects and construction manager. Bidding for the project is to take place in April, Shafer said.

During December, crews moved steam, water, sanitary, and telecommunications lines to
make room for the building, a project that affected utilities in buildings across campus.
“I would like to thank every one for their patience and cooperation during this phase
of the project,” Shafer said. The site — bound by Schaffer Library, Social Sciences,
Reamer Campus Center, and Science and Engineering — has been closed to pedestrian
traffic.
