HVAC Renewal Construction

The Administrative Building is the oldest structure on our campus, and in 2018–19, ±¬ÁÏÉçÇø received funding from the Chancellor’s Office to modernize its infrastructure. The project will upgrade the building’s aging heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to improve comfort and energy efficiency while extending the facility’s lifespan. Although originally scheduled earlier, the project faced delays due to the pandemic and other unforeseen challenges. We’re pleased to announce that construction is now set to begin this spring.

Timeline and Impact

Construction will take place in multiple phases throughout the spring and summer. Each phase has been carefully planned to minimize disruption while allowing for the safe and efficient completion of the project. Key dates and milestones are outlined below to help you stay informed and prepared.

  • April 28
    Project begins, with some noise disruptions, mostly in mechanical areas of the building.
  • May 19 - June 30

    No air conditioning, with airflow; building is still occupiable as comfort allows. Air conditioning will be unavailable from May 19 through Aug. 15; however, outside air circulation will remain operational until June 30, which allows the building to be occupied as comfort allows.   

  • June 16 - 20
    Suggested move-out dates, if temporarily relocating during construction.   

  • June 30 - August 1
    Must be out of the building; building unoccupiable (except Cougar Central). The Administrative Building will be unoccupiable June 30 through Aug. 1 due to the lack of airflow, with no air conditioning or outside air circulation available. The only exception is Cougar Central since it has a dedicated HVAC unit, allowing it to remain operational with exterior doors open and fans used to bring in outside air.    
  • August 1 - 15

    No air conditioning, airflow restored; building is occupiable as comfort allows. Air conditioning will be unavailable from May 19 through Aug. 15. However, outside air circulation will be operational again beginning Aug. 1, which allows the building to be occupied as comfort allows.   

  • August 4 - 8
    Suggested move-in dates, if temporarily relocated during construction.  

Temporary Relocation of Student Affairs Offices

As part of the HVAC Renewal Construction in the Administrative Building, several Student Affairs offices will be temporarily relocated from June 30 to August 1. This move is necessary to support the safe and efficient completion of the project. In consultation with the Senior Leadership Team, Planning, Design & Construction, Campus Operations, and Human Resources we ensured this approach was both practical and supportive of staff needs. Our  priority during this transition is to maintain continuity of operations while being mindful of comfort and well-being. We remain committed to serving our students, staff, and faculty with minimal disruption throughout this period.
