Harvard Kennedy School has contracted the replacement of the roofing system at the Belfer Building, with work scheduled to begin at the end of May 2023 and an anticipated completion in late August 2023.
The scope of the project includes the installation of new roofing & curtain wall systems, as well as the addition of roof anchors.
Project Schedule & Community Impacts
- The contractor will begin setting up the work zone and fence line on Wednesday, May 31st.
- The project is scheduled for completion in late August 2023.
- Project work hours will be Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Limited Saturday work between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. may be necessary.
- Scaffolding will be erected on the northeast side of the building (abutting Eliot Street) from the ground level to the roof and will be used for project personnel access.
- Overhead protection will be in place at all building entrances throughout the duration of the project.
