The GX Listserv The GX list provides information you need during the "Great Excavations 2" project and related construction projects at the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus. Today is Friday, July 26. Today's GX includes:
1. Vital stats 1. Vital stats Here's some stuff for the statistically minded: This summer, GX2 crews will lay down 200,000 bricks along new pathways and plazas from Clark Hall east and then around the corner to Gilman. An additional 18,000 bricks will be installed at the two entrances to Garland. Among the bricks in the pathways and plazas will be 1,120 marble pavers. Each is 2 feet by 1 foot by 2-1/4 inches. There will also be 28 benches, 36 pole-mounted light fixtures and three bicycle rack locations. We just thought you'd want to know. 2. Opening the door The waterproofing work on the north deck of Garland Hall is nearing completion. Though today's rain may force a brief delay, the hope is that the north entrance to Garland can be reopened by Monday, July 29. Stay tuned. 3. Backing out the door Take a look at the GX2 Web cam image at http://www.jhu.edu/gx/info/gxwebcam.html. You'll see that the bricklayers are almost completely past the main entrance to Levering Hall on their north-to-south sweep. As they head further and further south in the GX2 area, crews will be doing the bricklaying equivalent of painting themselves out through the back door. They'll still need to store heavy equipment and supplies, but they won't be able to do it within the construction area, for fear of ruining areas where they've already completed work. So today, fences are going up to enclose a new staging area at the northeast corner of Garland field. The area will be about 100 feet by 100 feet, and four or five parking spaces nearby will be lost temporarily to enable workers to get equipment in and out. 4.
