Contractors Jones Demolition have begun preparation for the demolition of Cody Hall, beginning with the Hazard Materials Abatement (HAZMAT), says project administrator Mark Rudkin of Facility Services.

HAZMAT abatement requires specialized training and equipment. Cody Hall, a former residence, is slated for demolition during the summer.

“The heavy work won’t start until after semester’s end,” Rudkin says. “We have every intention of minimizing the disruption to the campus.”
