Braves Drive to close permanently on August 15 The renovation of Jones Health and Physical Education building has been successfully bid, according to Bess Tyner, University Engineer. The contractor will begin mobilizing on the site on August 15. Initial mobilization will consist of the erection of a construction fence, which will close off areas where additions are to be added to the building. These areas are on the southeastern end, east side, and west side behind the main gym. Please note that Jones will remain open during construction. Entrances will be provided on the south side, east side, and north side. Note also that part of this project will demolish some of the sheds behind Pinchbeck, and the construction fence will block off this area. Braves Drive located between Jones and the University Center will be closed permanently. "Please be cautious in this area as this project gets underway," Tyner said. "Thank you for your patience as we continue to build a better UNCP. Please let me know if you have questions." |
