Construction Update: More Equipment Arriving - Beware of Trucks

ZMK Construction will be bringing in a lot more equipment to the Springbrook Main Campus beginning on Monday, September 13, 2010. Most equipment will be unloaded at the top of the hill.

Note that equipment traffic will be especially busy next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Due to the narrowness of the upper road entrance by the School, large trucks will be coming in through the lower campus. This will continue until equipment is in place to widen the upper road entrance.

Staff, students and visitors walking along the lower campus roads (including up to the School), should be alert for trucks and equipment at all times. Because these trucks are large and cannot stop easily, PLEASE IMMEDIATELY MOVE OFF THE ROAD IF YOU SEE A TRUCK COMING THROUGH.

Construction Timeline
Construction will begin on Wednesday, September 15 or Thursday, September 16, 2010. This phase includes preparing and leveling the hill for the foundations of the new houses.

Foundations for the houses will be poured in mid-October. Look for foundations for the School expansion to be poured in mid-November.

Interior renovations for the School will begin in 2011.

Upcoming Staff Parking Changes
Currently, staff and visitors may continue to park in all lots, except along the upper road. A temporary staff parking lot will be built behind the Loomis Center in September/October to make up for parking that will be lost as construction progresses. A parking map will be updated when the lot is laid out and will be available on the Parking Map page of the Springbrook Construction website.

Contractor HQ
The contractors' “lay down area” will be in the field in front of the School, where the manhole covers are currently located. This area will include job trailers, parking for contractors, product drop off, etc. The space will be fenced off and is off-limits for all non-construction personnel. Look for construction on this area to begin almost immediately.

Contractor Parking
Contractors will be parking at the top of the hill, where the new houses will be built, as well as in the lay down area in front of the school.
