City officials will host a public meeting from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 18 in the lobby of White Concert Hall. Beginning in May, 17th Street from Washburn to MacVicar Avenues will be improved, including the addition of four medians.
It is an exciting time to be an Ichabod. One major project is underway and several soon will begin that will move the campus of Washburn University forward.
A major energy efficiency upgrade is underway at Washburn. Virtually all campus facilities will receive upgrades to lighting, heating and air conditioning and water fixtures in the next 20 months. The campus-wide effort is expected to cause minimal disruption to the learning environment. It should be completed in fall of 2014. In addition to reducing the overall carbon footprint of our campus, these energy upgrades are expected to save $618,000 in utility costs annually. It will also offset the amount of deferred maintenance projects on campus.
The project will enhance the classroom experience by improving lighting and ensuring a more even indoor temperature throughout campus.
