Update on Construction and Noise at Scott Library
The objective is to secure the facades by checking mortar and repairing or replacing sections as needed to insure public safety. This process will be repeated in another decade.
Work began on the Scott Library building during the summer, and it will likely continue through this calendar year. Each quadrant of the building is undergoing two phases of activity:
inspecting and grinding out weak mortar sections
repairing any of the steel support structure behind the brick and then replacing the brick
Work hours are between 7:30 am and 3:30 pm, but that includes some setup and break down, so active noise is less than that. It...
