Cherry Lane and the Faculty Bricks have been completely demolished and new grass has been planted in the areas where buildings and pavement once existed.
Cherry Lane and Faculty Bricks Apartments
The Cherry Lane and Faculty Bricks apartment buildings are set for demolition starting July 5.
Between June 15 and July 5, facilities staff will be removing all furniture and other materials from each building so that the university can salvage whatever possible. During this time, the plaque from building 802, which showcases images of each donor to the buildings themselves, will be relocated to Demonstration Hall.
Throughout the demolition process, workers will be screening all trees to preserve them for the currently planned green area that will encompass the space after demolition. The Faculty Bricks buildings will be the first to go down as demolition will work from the north to south, causing some road construction around Trowbridge during the time. In total, the project will most likely take an entire year and will include seed work for new grass, scheduled for full completion next spring.
Note: All name displays will be saved and offered to the families of donors. In addition, plans are in place for a new memorial plaque that will be erected at the current site.
Demolition continues to Cherry Lane/Faculty Bricks Apartments. Workers have completed the demolition of four buildings thus far
Demolition of the Cherry Lane and Faculty Bricks apartment buildings is currently underway.
