Building 15 / Public Safety Relocation

This project is being tracked as three phases of work.

Public Safety Relocation

• This project is a critical path item for Building 12 demolition. Building 15 was identified in the 2020 Master Plan as a new location for Public Safety offices. Construction has started with interior demolition.

Elevated Platform Remediation

• Sections of the raised platform west of Building 15 are to be removed to address deferred maintenance and structural deficiencies. Sitework on the lower level will improve access for emergency response and service vehicles. Construction has started with mass excavation on the east side of the building with the goal of completion before the start of fall term 2026.

Building Access and Parking

• The use of Building 15 for Public Safety will require changes to the building entry, egress pathways, and the development of dedicated parking for departmental vehicles. Excavation and site work are underway with the goal of completion before the start of fall term 2026. Construction is to be coordinated with the Public Safety Relocation and Elevated Platform Remediation projects.

Building 12 Demolition and Site Restoration

Site improvements with the demolition of Building 12 will improve pedestrian and emergency access in the southeast quadrant of the campus. Enhanced circulation pathways will create a new eastern gateway to the campus core.
