The following summarizes the work planned for the new FAS building for the week of September 2, 2025:
Dates: 9/2/25-9/6/25
PUBLIC WAY IMPACTS:
- The site fence will remain in its current location. Wayfinding signage has been installed around the site and at the Jefferson turnaround to assist vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and delivery drivers. A sign is now in place in the SEAS lot closer to Oxford Street announcing the permanent closure of the Littauer parking lot to prevent vehicles from driving further into the SEAS lot looking for parking if drivers don’t have a SEAS parking permit.
EXTERIOR SITE ACTIVITIES
- Treviicos will continue installing secant piles with two operational drill rigs. The crew will continue along the southern end of the site with one drill rig in front of Littauer Hall, while the second drill rig continues along the eastern end of the site in front of Music Building and will also begin installing secant piles in the northeast corner of the site coming towards the front of Austin Hall. The rigs will be moving around the sit:e continuously. A mobile crane will be used to assist this operation. Concrete trucks will be on site for this operation as well as trailers to haul out the material from the drilling. Abutters can anticipate noise and possible vibration impacts from this operation.
- WL French will continue supporting the secant operation by loading and hauling soils throughout the week. Noise and possible vibration impacts can be expected from this operation.

Equipment and trucking will continue using the construction entrance off Massachusetts Avenue between Gannett House and Hemenway Gymnasium in conjunction with the existing construction entrance onto Cambridge Street (between Gannett and Littauer).
