Ticknor Hall

Due to recent flooding, the basement and first floor of Ticknor Hall sustained significant damage. Crews are continuing put-back work in the affected areas, and we will provide updates as the situation progresses.

Beginning November 18, crews will begin floor repair preparation. On November 20, High Plains Flooring will start the refinishing process, which is expected to be completed by November 26. During this time, please expect sanding equipment, construction noise, and contractors accessing the first floor. These areas will be inaccessible for the duration of the project.

Please avoid the affected spaces and give crews the room they need to complete their work safely.

Thank you for your cooperation.
