Fencing will be installed to provide barriers between construction activities. Pedestrian pathways approaching the Ferst Center from the Instructional Center Lawn will be diverted. Wheelchair-accessible pathways will be maintained from the parking lot in front of the Smithgall Student Services (Flag) Building to the Ferst Center, and signage will be placed around this part of campus to guide pedestrians and provide alternate routes. This work is expected to last until late July.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAs part of the utility work happening in front of the Ferst Center, one of Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s most iconic artworks has been temporarily relocated. The Ovation statue is now in a temporary home on the Instructional Center Lawn and will be replaced in Phase II of the project.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nLooking ahead, the next wave of activity will include work along the path between Ferst Center and the Smithgall Student Services Building (near the pecan grove). Similar to the construction work in front of the Ferst Center, accessible alternative pathways will be available, but the community is encouraged to exercise particular care when navigating through this area.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter this work, which is expected to conclude before the start of the fall semester, the main fencing footprint for Phase I will be established and will not change until spring of 2020.
