To support electrical upgrades at Davenport Hall, occupancy is not allowed on any floors of the building in the designated crane lift area, as shown on the project floor plans (link below) for the basement and levels 1-3. The contractor will also establish related traffic control methods in nearby locations. Additionally, the project team is coordinating with the facilities staff of the affected unit about these restrictions to ensure that no individuals will be within the crane boundary when the work commences.
