Campus & HVAC Construction Updates

Please Be Cautious
The Administration Offices main door is now accessible! Please ring the doorbell to be “buzzed” in.

• The new central plant is wired, tested, and ready for the next phase of construction which will begin before the end of the month.
• The initial sequence of buildings to be brought “online” to the new HVAC plant will be Zurek Hall, the ministries hallway, and the CDC. The plan is to switch from the old system to the new system over a weekend. This will not affect Mass in the church.
• Side church door (nearest the rectory) to remain locked and only used as an EMERGENCY EXIT. We ask that those dropping off and picking up individuals with mobility limitations use the location near the covered walkway for the front entrance of the church.

Parish Offices Moved & Zurek Hall Opened
The Parish Administrative Office is now open again. Please bear with us as we transition back or move to new locations. Not all computer and phone connections are working properly, causing some communication challenges. The Ministries Hallway is now closed due to construction demolition.  Please do not try to enter the Ministries Hallway.  Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Sidewalks around the courtyard leading to the Parish Activity Center continues to remain closed. The construction crews have begun working in the Church building. They have removed ceiling tiles and insulation in the hallway going from the Narthex to the restrooms and have placed protective covering on the floors. They will be installing chilled water and hot water pipes for the new HVAC system in this area for the next couple of weeks. After completing the hallway area, they will move to the Narthex itself. You may see the Narthex with no ceiling at some point in the coming weeks. 

The Ministries Hallway is open!

• Adam Brill and Marilyn Scamardo’s office – Music Room 
• Kaitlyn Middlebrooks and Tricia Barina – Room 2
• Diana Jetter and Maureen Edwin –  Room 4
• Faith Formation Staff: Darren Seibert, – Youth Room                                        Chris Haberberger and Luci Bodiford - Room 6
• Jeff Gore – Room 5 

During regular business hours, access from the PAC to the courtyard may be restricted. The Church side door nearest the courtyard will not provide immediate access to the PAC, but still can be used as an emergency exit. 

As a reminder, the new back parking lot behind the PAC is a no parking area, Monday through Friday 7 AM to 5 PM, until further notice. Trucks making deliveries need the  extra room to maneuver.
