Alternate parking plans for faculty and staff who work in buildings west and north NEWS OF... Construction of the Ag Quad have been developed for the rest of 1987. The volume of construction in the area ranging from Academic I to renovations at Clark, Rockefeller, Martha Van Rensselaer, Savage, and ST. Olin halls and the addition to Space Sciences will require some one-way traffic and new staging areas for contractors. Pedestrian walkways will be provided through and around the staging areas in order to maintain access to buildings, according to William E. Wendt, director of transportation. Efforts will be made to maintain a one-way traffic flow around the staging areas between Malott and Bailey halls and north to the Baker-Clark parking area, he said. Pedestrians and drivers in the area are urged to exercise special care around construc- tion sites, Wendt said. "Deliveries and smooth access at all times will be difficult to accommodate," he said, "and some spaces will be lost to construction through the end of this year and into 1988." He explained that J permit holders in the blue parking zone will be able to park in certain areas without traveling on North Garden Avenue, in the heart of the Aca- demic I project area. Three locations that drivers should consider are: Forest Home Drive in front of Toboggan Lodge; Tower Road in front of Seeley-Mudd Hall; and the parking garage near Schoeilkopf Field. Wendt said there are more than enough spaces in the parking garage toaccommo- date the needs of J permit holders during the construction period. He added that many drivers may find the Forest Home Drive lots convenient, especially after the road is repaved later this year. Further information is available by calling William E. Wendt at 255-4628. Statler Inn project Foundation walls for the new 150-room Statler Inn are beginning to take shape. After some 500 cubic yards.of concrete are poured, the superstructure of the nine- story building will begin to rise. The original plans called for a seven-story addition around the former inn. Late last spring, it was determined that demolition of the 53-room inn and a complete replacement project would be more cost-effective. Two floors were added to the revised plan. Also last year, the university hired the construction mangement firm of Leh- rer/McGovem/Bovis of New York Inc. to supervise trade contracts and oversee the construction schedule and quality. In February, the university transferred the external design of the new inn to The Archiects Collaborative of Cambridge, Mass. The Boston firm of Goody, Clancy and Associates Inc. has essentially completed planning for the internal segments of the project, according to Robert M. Matyas, vice president for facilities and business operations. Matyas said close coordination between the two Boston-area firms will help keep the project on schedule. Bids on the superstructure are due this month and as many as six bids may be submitted for the inn project, according to the construction management firm. The hotel school's $25 million fund-raising campaign has passed the $20 million Parking and pedestrian traffic information for the Ag Quad arm. mark, as of late February. Bridge closings One of the two paths to the Cascadilla Gorge footbridge will be closed from March 18-20 while contractors do electrical work at the intersection of Oak and Col- lege avenues. The stone arch bridge where College Avenue becomes Central Avenue will be closed from March 23 27 while the contractor for the Performing Arts Center works along the southern rim of the gorge. Vehicles may use Stewart Avenue to Campus Road from the west or the Route 366 entrance to Campus Road from the east.
