North Campus Infrastructure Project Phase 1 The Facilities Management Division (FMD) has been approved to undertake the first phase of a large-scale project to renew the buried infrastructure near Herty Field.

The preliminary work will begin south of Moore College the week of Mar. 14. Major construction activities, including fencing off the larger construction area, are anticipated to begin by Apr. 1. There will be continued work in the area until project completion, tentatively scheduled for Aug. 1. During construction, pedestrian detours will be required for several buildings.
