An additional sinkhole has developed on the west side of the West Ridge Research Building.  Facilities Services is in the process of removing the asphalt and will be collapsing and compacting the sinkhole area today.

Facilities Services is looking at alternative repairs to limit costs of these recurring sinkholes.  If gravel is left on the parking lot while engineering studies are being performed it will be compacted daily as needed.

For further information, please contact the Facilities Services Customer Service Center at 474-7000.
