CONSTRUCTION NOTICE

Redstone Lofts Independent Student Apartments


April 16, 2011 – August 2012


Description of Work:

UVM and Redstone Development are very excited to announce the start of construction for the Redstone Lofts independent student apartments project. Redstone Lofts will provide 403 beds within 144 units in a mix of studio, one, two, three, and four bedroom apartments that will be available for UVM juniors, seniors, and graduate students. Redstone Lofts is scheduled to open in Fall 2012.

Redstone Lofts will be owned by Catamount Student Housing, LLC and operated by Redstone Commercial Group under a long-term ground lease with UVM. It will provide another housing option, brand new loft-style apartments, for students who are eligible to move off-campus, but choose the convenience of staying on-campus in independent apartments. Redstone Lofts will be ready for occupancy in Fall 2012.

Construction Dates and Hours:

Construction will begin on April 16, 2011. The project is scheduled to be complete in August 2012.

Typical construction hours will be 7:00 am-6:00 pm Monday through Friday with weekend work occurring as necessary. Outside noise generating activities will not start before 8:00 am.

Areas Affected:

Redstone Campus: Click here for map for construction areas.

Davis Road from the intersection of University Heights Road to the PFG Complex will be closed during construction. During the week of April 25th, 2011, construction in University Heights Road will affect traffic. One lane of traffic will be kept open during this time.

Blasting:

Blasting will be required as part of this project. During blasting activities, individuals on Redstone and Athletic Campuses may feel vibrations and hear noise. UVM does require blasting contractors to limit blast levels to a threshold below industry and federal standards to limit noise and vibration impacts and any potential damage. Blasting hours will be limited to 8:00 am – 6:00 pm Monday through Friday.

Exam Week:

Because this project is on a tight construction schedule in order to open for Fall 2012, Redstone will not be able to stop construction activities during the May 6-13, 2011 exam week. Blasting will be limited to not start before 9:00 am during exam week.
