Reiss Science Building Summer Renovation
Recent Project Updates
Coming soon
Project Overview
Beginning in early May, we will be replacing the roof and renovating classrooms and corridors on the 2nd, 4th and 6th floors of Reiss. Please see the following details regarding each project by floor.
Second Floor
From approximately Monday, May 12 through Friday, June 20, we will be renovating the corridors with new flooring, as well as conducting selected classroom upgrades, involving new flooring and painting. During this time, the entire floor will be closed.
As classes will not be in session, we anticipate occupant impact to be minimal. Office occupants have already been informed and will be working remotely during this time.
During this time, there will be no floor access from Friday, May 12 through Saturday, May 20. The following week, we will have limited floor access from Sunday, May 21 through Sunday, May 28.
For more information regarding 2nd floor access, please reach out to Tensae Woldesellasie at jm3562@georgetown.edu.
Fourth Floor
From approximately Monday, May 12 through Friday, June 20, we will be installing new flooring in the corridors and elevator area to upgrade and standardize interior finishes.
During this time, there will be no floor access from Friday, May 12 through Saturday, May 20, this includes to GU Workspaces. The following week, there will be limited floor access from Sunday, May 21 through Sunday, May 28.
For more information regarding 4th floor access, please reach out to Jeff McLoughlin at jm3562@georgetown.edu.
Sixth Floor
From approximately Monday, May 19 through late September, we will be demolishing the vacant labs and offices to make way for future improvements. The entire 6th floor will remain closed for an abatement and demolition.
The majority of this work will occur in the evenings and off-hours (approximately 5 p.m. – 3 a.m.) Several building outages will be required, and we will need to access some labs and offices on the 5th floor during these off hours. Advanced notice will be provided for each outage.
Roof
From approximately Monday, June 2 to late September, we will be replacing the roof. During this time, the building will remain open; however, there will be days where elevator use will be limited as one elevator will be designated for the contractor. We also may intermittently close some entrances as we replace the overhang roofs on the first and second levels.
The majority of this work will occur on Monday to Friday from 7 a.m.-3 p.m.; however, it is expected that work will occur on Saturdays periodically throughout the summer. Extended hours from Monday to Friday are expected as well.
There will be a shared project dumpster onsite in the Reiss loading dock for the duration of the renovation project from May to October.
Throughout the project, there will be several days when Tondorf Road will be closed for a mobile crane, and some entrances and sidewalks will be closed. Advanced notice will be provided for days that require a crane.
