Recent dry weather has allowed work on the University apartment project to remain on schedule. Site work continues to progress, as can be seen by more pronounced grading and two building footprints that are now clearly established. Foundation work is underway, including construction of the building pads and installation of concrete footings.

The next phase of work will focus on completing the foundations. Materials for utilities and underground infrastructure are being stored on site, as shown in the latest aerial photos. Vertical construction is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, and the buildings will begin to take shape.

The entrance to the apartment community, located on Highway 41A, continues to serve as the only access point for construction vehicles. Fencing surrounds the site both for safety and erosion control.

Be sure to check regularly as photos will be posted to chronicle construction progress for this important initiative.
