Final inspection of University Hall is scheduled for Friday, June 4. "We hope that the building can be turned over to us at that time," says Therese Rosier, director of physical plant. "That would mean that we can proceed with the campus moves as scheduled, and that the front entrance and parking lot adjacent to the building can be reopened," she says.

Construction work on the parking lot behind the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre is nearly complete too, she says. The loop road and the lot are scheduled for paving, beginning June 14. "That would place the lot being turned over to us around July 1," says Ms. Rosier.

Moving dates have been given to those involved in the move to University Hall, and all moves are expected to be complete by August 11. The general outline of scheduled events, as reported last month, are as follows:

Early June - Preliminary groundwork around Markert
