Pacific Hall Update | Week of Nov. 13 – Pacific University

Finish work continues throughout the building as we look forward to wrapping up the bulk of the remaining construction activities, cleaning, and punching spaces in the next six to sevenweeks. Drywall, taping, and painting is mostly complete at this point with a couple minor exceptions on Level 2, and painting is ongoing on Level 1. Ceiling grid and tiles, MEPF trim, whiteboardsand accessories are going up throughout the building.

The team is preparing to reactivate the buildings mechanical system at the end of this week or into early next as the main entry storefront and glazing goes in and the building is fully enclosed. At the buildings exterior, you may have already noticed that exterior painting is well underway, and that most of the brick has been washed in preparation for final sealing. The team is continuing to monitor conditions as we move into the colder and wetter weather, and making progress as quickly as possible without compromising quality on good weather days.

The team is currently having discussions and coordinating move transition activities in preparation to open the building at the end of January, including determining when spaces will become available for faculty andstaff to move back and settle into their offices. Exact dates are still TBD, but we are currently targeting mid-January to allow users to begin moving in, unpacking stored items, and preparing for the spring term. We will begin including regular updates on furniture andAV installation and move-related activities with these weekly updates as we move into December.

The project remains on schedule for substantial completion and TCO by Jan. 10, 2024, and for reopening on Jan. 29, 2024. While there is still a lot work to be completed throughout the building to make the spaces user-ready, is striving to beat the current schedule wherever possible to allow as much time for move-in as possible in January.
