CAMPUS POLICE - LOOP ROAD CONSTRUCTION SITE

Welcome to the Loop Road Construction Site. Your one stop campus construction updates.

Friday 10-9-09
There is a lot of construction activity scheduled for Friday, but the main issue is that the Northern Loop will be closed to traffic (the roadway behind the Athletic Center, continuing down around the Surprenant Building), and the Surprenant Lot will be closed for parking.  Public Safety will be on hand to provide help, directions, and assistance with any handicap access issues.   Please note that any cars that go past the parking area behind the Administration Building will have to exit the campus via Burncoat Street.
 
 
Saturday 10-10-09
The paving continues!  The contractor will be paving parking lots 1 &2, the Loop Road between lots 2 & 3, and the roadway next to the Children's School, and so this part of the road will be closed.   This is the roadway area that loops around the Administration Building, heading up Assumption Avenue.  The newly paved roadway on the Northern Loop (see Friday's paving activity) will be opened for two way traffic.  Once again, Public Safety will be on hand to provide assistance.

Public Safety will be on hand to help monitor and reacquaint everyone to the new lots etc. Please be patient when navigating the campus.
 
I do need your assistance:
bulletThe speed limit on campus is 10 MPH so please keep that in mind when driving around campus! 
bulletThe traffic patterns on campus has not changed. We will continue to use the main roadway and both service roads to Surprenant and the rear of Administration Building.
bulletAll parking lots are open which include the  Administration, Surprenant and all the Student lots.
bulletPlease drive slow around the area of the Public Safety Office as it is currently not paved. Also keep in mind there will be no parking lines and we ask that when parking to try to keep a reasonable amount of space between your car and one that is already parked in order to reduce fender benders (accidents). Also, if you park in as orderly a fashion as possible we should not lose too much of the limited parking space.
bulletAll campus signage is in effect to include Stop Signs and Pedestrian Yield Signs please obey them.
Keeping you safe!
 
Thanks.
Chief Kevin Ritacco

General Information:

QCC Soil Management Plan during Loop Road Construction

Like most areas in Worcester County, the land at QCC contains an elevated level of naturally occurring arsenic.  During the loop road construction project, QCC has worked with the Department of Environmental Protection to ensure all adequate precautions are taken.  The College has established plans to make certain that any contaminated soil is not a hazard to its students, faculty, staff, visitors, or neighbors.

During the construction process, the contractor is working with a Licensed Site Professional, an expert in soil management, who will monitor the plan for maintaining any disturbed soil on site during and after construction.
