In the final construction email of 2017, Pete Sala, vice president and chief facilities officer, detailed construction work that will be done for some Syracuse University infrastructure projects this Winter Break.

Here’s what Sala said in the campus-wide email, which he sent Tuesday:

  • Huntington Hall: Two restrooms on the third floor of the building will be renovated to create two single-occupancy bathrooms. The project is expected to be completed before the spring semester.
  • National Veterans Resource Complex: There will be increased activity around the NVRC construction site before ground is broken on the project in January 2018. The project, at the intersection of South Crouse and Waverly avenues, is expected to be completed in spring 2020.
  • Slocum Hall: The university is currently upgrading the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems and installing enhanced finishes in the architectural reading room. These improvements are expected to be completed before the start of next semester.
  • Women’s Building and Flanagan Gymnasium: As gym equipment is moved into the Women’s Building and Flanagan in preparation for Archbold renovations, both buildings will have improvements completed by mid-December. Facilities will be ready for use in January 2018.

Sala on Tuesday said more than 175 campus improvement projects have been completed in 2017.
