Demolition Phase – Summer 2025
Demolition work will begin on July 8, 2025, and continue until mid-August 2025. The following steps are planned:

• Structure demolition: approximately 2 weeks
• Foundation removal: approximately 1 week
• Removal of asphalt, sidewalks, and other exterior features: approximately 1 week

During this period, daytime noise disturbances are to be expected, caused by the use of excavators, hydraulic hammers, pulverizers, and other specialized equipment.
