Though the land is in a residential area, Runberg said, “There is a parking lot right across the street.

But Bruce Runberg, associate vice chancellor for planning and construc tion, said the Ramshead project is on schedule. “We originally planned for Phase II to begin after the last home football game,” he said. “That is why we are starting this week.” Phase II will involve the excavation of the existing parking lot and construc tion of site utilities, which include storm water, steam water and chilled water lines.

Runberg said Phase II will require more time than Phase I. “Site work is always the most difficult part of a construction project,” he said. “But once we get through Phase 11, we will have a better idea of where we are at in terms of the project’s schedule.” The utility lines will run beneath a pedestrian bridge that will connect North and South Campus. Other lines will run beneath Ridge Road, which will be turned into a one-lane road when workers install the lines.
