Biomed Building I Renovation Update
4/21/2025
The Construction Team will be doing more coring in the next couple of weeks. This will create off/on vibrating noises and we penetrate through the slabs in order to put in new piping. You should expect the same type of intervals and noise levels for the next couple of weeks.
4/7/2025
This week, the construction team will be coring some of the concrete to make room for new piping. This will result in some noisy periods, but they should be relatively short-term. They will also be connecting piping in the chases on floors 1-5, which will require some soldering and additional noise on each floor.
If you experience any issues, please contact Paul Browning, Building Manager, at RBrowning2@uams.edu or 501.686.8899
