Capital projects and campus improvements update

Aug. 22, 2008

From Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Peter B. French

I urge students to read my latest memo to the community (PDF) carefully, as it contains several items that may be of particular interest, including information about the expanded C-Store. I hope all members of the Brandeis community will take a few minutes to learn about the many projects completed this summer or currently either under construction or in design.  My latest memo provides information on the following:

Projects completed this summer or currently under construction:

• Science Complex Renewal Project, Phase 1
• New Ridgewood Residence Halls
• Usen Residence Hall Renovation
• New Shapiro Admissions Center AND Temporary Admissions Office
• Hiatt Career Center Renovation
• Kutz Hall — Two New Classrooms
• Quiznos and Expanded C-Store in Usdan Student Center / Stein and Faculty Club
• Improvements to Hassenfeld Parking Lot
• Practice Field and Chapels Field
• South Campus Steam Loop Improvements
• Energy Savings Program, Phase 2

Projects currently in design:

• Mandel Center for the Humanities
• Edmond J. Safra Center for the Arts, Phase 1

My latest memo and other recent community update memos are always available on the EVP/COO Web site (click on the News and Info and Archives links). 
 
Wishing all a productive and enjoyable semester,

Peter B. French
