The scope of this project includes the construction of a new, approximately 200,000 - 250,000 square foot, multi-story building and surrounding landscape/hardscape to be constructed at the corner of Chestnut and Preston, extended onto Gray Street. The final size of the building is still being determined through the currently running Programming and Concept phase of the project. This project will involve all aspects of demolition, site work, foundations and new construction located in the heart of Louisville’s downtown medical district, affectionately known as the Lou-Med District, while the University and medical district remains fully operation throughout. Aspects of pedestrian safety, access, continuation of all utility’s services to adjacent facilities, security of the construction zone, demolition materials removal, soils excavations, construction materials deliveries, and the overall coordination and communication with the campus community are critical aspects to the success of this project. The construction area will be immediately adjacent to academic and University services facilities, as well as Metro Health, Seven Counties, and Norton Healthcare building. The privacy, security and safety of all University students, faculty and staff, and the community will be of great importance.
