ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS FACILITIES MANAGEMENT 860-832-2301 UPDATES FOR CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS Click here for the Campus Map Click here for the Student Center live webcam ************************************************************************************************** Central Connecticut State University is engaged in a bold, comprehensive, and multi-phase Campus Master Plan. Carefully formulated to enhance the utility of the campus while maintaining its historical integrity and architectural legacy, as well as landscaped aesthetics, the Master Plan will create a state-of-the-art, student-centered learning environment in support of the university's mission as an educational institution. The transformation of the campus is already well underway, and this website provides important information about the various projects and their programs while they are in progress or following completion, in addition to previewing future projects as they are being planned. For daily updates on all facets of campus construction, renovations, building closings, detours, etc., check the Construction Announcements webpage. ************************************************************************************** (Click on these links to view completed or on-going projects) Some recently completed projects include an expansion and renovation of the Student Center, a top-to-bottom renovation of Sheridan Residence Hall, a new Arute Stadium and field lighting, the new Vance Academic Center classroom and office building and parking garage, Davidson Hall elevator, complete renovation of Copernicus Hall, the new campus Energy Center and utility tunnels, renovation and expansion of Kaiser Hall, the new Welte Parking Garage, the park-like center mall, the new Early Learning Center, Memorial Hall first floor renovations, and mechanical room renovations in both general fund and auxilliary fund buildings, replacement of the Detrick Gymnasium basketball floor, and most recently, a top-to-bottom renovation of Gallaudet Residence Hall, newly opened for the Spring/2006 semester. Recently, the historic smokestack on the original campus Powerhouse was removed. This demolition project was completed in a period encompassing approximately one week. The Powerhouse is the second oldest building on campus; Davidson Hall, which included all offices, classrooms, gymnasium and locker facilities, library, and a threatre, was completed in the late 1920s, with Marcus White Hall following as the women's residence hall. The design of these three buildings set the tone for features incorporated into more recent campus buildings - such as the Robert Vance Academic Center and parking garage, the Energy Center, and the Welte Parking Garage, as well as the design elements used in the renovation of many of the university's residence halls. Currently underway is an asbestos abatement and renovation project in Vance Residence Hall. The top two floors (5th & 6th) were closed for the Spring/2006 semster; the remaining floors closed at the end of the Spring semester, and the entire building will reopen for the Fall/2006 semester. Future projects in the planning stage include a new university police station, Admissions building, a new classroom and office building, renovations to the Willard and DiLoreto classroom buildings, and a complete overhaul of existing outdoor athletics and recreation facilities, including the installation of a state-of-the-art track and field facility around the existing soccer field. Other renovation and repair projects include buildings entrances enhancements, faculty/administrative offices renovations, landscaping improvements, handicapped access, and improved signage and lighting. Additionally, a new campus map has being designed for visitors and prospective students. Two new signs have been designed, constructed, and landscaped on both corners of the area on Stanley Street in front of Davidson Hall. These signs provide an identifying "welcome" to visitors to the campus, and complement a similar sign at the intersection of Cedar Street and Fenn Road.
