Construction on a new entrance into Lot E from Valley Road is almost complete. Once the roadway is open work will continue on the parking areas.

During this phase of construction, the existing north entrance at the lights will be closed, as well as the entire area adjacent to Anderson Hall (Lots E, F, and FS).

Depending on the weather this portion of the project will begin around Thursday, July 5.

Current permit holders will be asked park in the west side of Lot E until the construction is finished at the end of August.

Access will be provided at the existing south entrance at Aperture Drive and the new entrance. A map outlining the access points and parking areas is displayed below.

The parking lot redevelopment project was set to begin in early June however, due to recent rains, work on the project was delayed.

Construction on a new entrance into Lot E from Valley Road is now underway, and once the roadway is operational, work will continue on redeveloping the parking areas adjacent to Anderson Hall in Lots E, F, and FS.

Renovations to these lots will include the removal and replacement of existing lighting and plug-in pedestals, new storm water drainage, concrete curbing, sidewalks and paving.

During construction, the existing north entrance will be closed to traffic. Access to Lot E will be provided at Aperture Drive and the new entrance.

Current permit holders will be directed to park in the larger section of Lot E during construction.

The Facilities department will work diligently to provide ample signage across campus and provide regular updates to advising users of pedestrian routes and parking restrictions.

Construction work for 2012 should be substantially completed by Aug. 15 with all work finalized by Aug. 31.

The second phase of construction will happen in the spring of 2013. This phase will see the redevelopment of Lots E and G.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge is embarking on a major parking lot redevelopment project this summer which will enhance the campus environmentally and aesthetically.

Redevelopment of the campus's western parking lots is set to begin this spring; beginning with the creation of a new entranceway at the northwest corner of Lot E.

This is just the beginning of the project that will give a facelift to Lots E, F, FS and G along Anderson Hall and the 1st Choice Savings Centre. The result will be more practical parking and the addition of environmentally sustainable and aesthetically pleasing landscaping.

The $2.5 million project will be developed over two summers, with completion aimed for 2013. Parking access will be provided away from construction while the project is underway. Check the Notice Board and campus digital signage for further parking notices as construction begins.

The revamped design of the parking lots includes bio swales (drainage) and windbreaks, along with improved lighting, security and safety measures for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The design also addresses storm water management and drainage issues to prevent occurrences such as the flooding that took place in July 2008 at the Wellness Centre.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Facilities Department is gearing up for another productive construction season this summer.

Redevelopment of the campus's western parking lots is set to begin in a few weeks, beginning with the creation of a new entranceway at the northwest corner of Lot E.

The $2.5 million project will be completed over the summer. Parking access will be provided away from construction while the project is underway.

Construction is ahead of schedule on the new residence structure.

Construction of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Quad just north of Markin Hall is also on the summer construction agenda. The public greenspace will feature small rolling hills, plants, water gardens, benches, connecting sidewalks, and other amenities. The project should be completed this fall.

In early May, the start of construction for a new Sports Medicine Clinic in the Wellness Centre PE100 will begin. The clinic will house four physicians and related support services with space for physiotherapy, exam rooms, a treatment area and offices for doctors and administrative staff. The project should be finished by the end of August.

Upgrading to the existing mechanical and electrical systems in the centre core of the Wellness Centre will take place from May to September. Construction will work around events such as Spring Convocation and the Alberta Summer Games to avoid any disruption of these activities. Renovations of Levels 0, 1 and 2, including the southeast entrance to the Wellness Centre will also take place at this time.

While under repair, the Physical Education Tunnel will be closed from June 4 until late September.

Meanwhile, the third phase of the Aperture Park housing facility is proceeding ahead of schedule. Concrete work is expected to be completed by late fall with the building scheduled to open in July 2013.

Other planned summer projects include replacing weeping tile along the Breezeway, upgrading the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems, and compartmentalizing firewalls and upgrading the fire alarm system in ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Hall.
