4/27/2026- Today, Dave came in early and moved all of the dumpsters, compost, and recycling bins back to their normal locations and opened up the trash rooms and chutes. He also brought all of the grocery carts back near the elevator lobbies. Hands down, Dave is the superstar of the project. A big thanks to him for all he did to assist the residents and crews in getting the garage cleared out and the work completed.

The excess chalk that was used to mark out the parking lines was blown away. There is still some residue, but it will dissipate over time. wheel stops were distributed to each parking stall, and the new speed bumps were installed. Any remaining items were moved back into the garage, and the bike racks were placed throughout the garage.

You will notice that the large bike rack near the entrance was temporarily placed inside the car wash bay. This was done until additional traction grit can be applied near stall 1 and the air handler near the West entrance. This area did not receive enough grit and will be slippery when wet. In addition, there is one small area near stalls 10 & 11 that will be touched up next Friday, May 8th. These owners will be contacted directly to arrange temporary parking spots inside the garage beginning Friday morning until Monday, 5/11. These were the only two areas identified as needing attention throughout the garage.

4/24/2026- After four days, over 1,000 gallons of epoxy and 12,000 pounds of sand, the floor coating has been completed! Today, SOS is on-site chaulking out the parking spots and will begin applying the traffic paint to mark the stalls, numbering, and crosshatching. If they’re not able to complete all of the painting today, they will return tomorrow to finish any remaining work.

When you enter the garage, you will notice a drastic change and a clean appearance. Due to the high gloss of the epoxy, many areas appear wet. There are no wet spots, and all areas are dry to the touch. As previously mentioned, extensive patching of the concrete was not completed due to the additional cost it would have added to the project cost. Although the epoxy filled some of the low spots, you will still notice rough areas where the concrete had spalled. At the end of the day, this is a garage floor. This epoxy coating is very durable and will hold up for 20 years.

Although the parking garage will open on Sunday around noon, the dumpsters, compost, and recycling will remain in the loggia until Monday morning. Once everything has been placed in its normal locations, the trash chute will reopen, and normal use of the garage can resume.

On Monday, the parking bump stops will be dispersed at each of the stalls. New speed bumps have been ordered and will be installed. As always, please watch your speed and use caution when moving about the parking garage.

4/23/2026- The application crew is working hard and will have the top coat complete by the end of the day, and it looks amazing! Tomorrow, SOS will be completing the line striping, cross-hatching, and numbering the stalls. Saturday, 4/24/2026, will be used as an additional curing day and will allow any remaining striping to be finished.

The parking garage will be open on Sunday at noon. You may resume use of the garage at that point. The tire bump stops have been washed and will be dispersed throughout the garage. Please reach out to the office if you need assistance with their placement. Thanks to all for your patience and cooperation during the project.

4/21/2026- Today, the remaining shot blasting floor preparation will be completed. The first batch of product was delivered and staged in the parking garage. Some low spots will be filled with patching material to reduce ponding, but this does not include skim-coating of the spalled concrete.

Tomorrow, around 7:00 am, the application process will begin and will continue on Thursday. These are the two days when fumes may be present within the building. As previously stated, the parking garage ventilation system will be on constantly for the entire coating and line striping process to exhaust the majority of fumes. During these days, please do not go to the exercise room, elevator lobbies, or any other parking garage locations. Thank you for your cooperation.

4/20/2026- The shot blasting crew arrived around 7:00 am and will be completing this work for the remainder of the day and some of tomorrow. The trash chutes are now closed for the remainder of the project. All trash, compost, and recycling have been placed on the East and West ends of the loggia.

Tomorrow, the remaining shot blasting will be completed in conjunction with the crack and joint repairs. This will be the last prep day before the coating begins on Wednesday morning.

4/17/2026- Thanks to all! The parking garage was pretty well cleaned out. The remaining items were removed, and the floor sweeping is taking place. Everything will be ready for the coating crews’ arrival on Monday morning.

Please remember to not park along the lilac bushes to leave space for the trash, dumpsters, recycling and compost bins. Please also be mindful of leaving the upper parking lot spaces for your neighbors with limited mobility.

On Monday, April 20th, the coating crew will arrive around 7:30 am to begin setup for the day of shot blasting. This process will begin around 8:00 am. This process does create a lot of noise. Residents on the first floor should be prepared for the noise on this day.

The trash chutes will remain open for the weekend. On Monday morning, the chutes and trash rooms will be closed, and all trash, recycling, and compost will need to be brought down to the loggia.

4/16/2026- Today is the last day the parking garage will be open for vehicle traffic until Sunday, April 26th. Please double-check your parking stalls to ensure all items have been removed. We suggest you park outside this evening, or you must have them moved by 7:00 am tomorrow.

I confirmed with the coating crew that spaces under 12″ wide will not be coated due to the width of the applicators. This means gaps smaller than 12″ between storage cabinets will not be coated. Items in this space can remain as long as they don’t protrude past the base of the cabinet.

Tomorrow, a final inspection of the parking garage will be completed as the cleaning takes place. Any remaining items will be removed and placed in the dump trailer. On Monday, April 20th, the shot blasting of the floor will be completed. This is the noisiest part of the project. The trash rooms and chutes will be closed on Monday. At this time, all trash, recycling, and compost will need to be brought down to the loggia for the duration of the project.

I wanted to remind everyone of the proposed project plan.

On Friday, April 17th, the floor will be swept up to remove all loose debris.
On Monday, April 20th, the floor will be prepared using a steel shot blasting machine and diamond grinding of the concrete. This will be the noisiest day of the project.
On Tuesday, April 21st, the floor preparation will continue, where cracks and minor defects will be repaired.
On Wednesday, April 22nd, the base coat will be applied to the entire floor and allowed to cure overnight.
On Thursday, April 23rd, the final topcoat will be applied to the entire floor and allowed to cure overnight.
On Friday, April 24th, striping of all numbers, parking stalls, and cross-hatches will be completed.
On Saturday, April 25th, all coatings will be allowed to cure.
On Sunday, April 26th, residents can return to the parking garage.

4/13/2026- This Friday, April 17th, is the start of the parking garage cleaning and coating project. The floor will be swept clear of all loose debris on this day, with work starting around 8:00 am. If you still have personal items in the parking garage, please have them moved as soon as possible. If you need assistance, please get in touch with the office and submit a work order requesting Dave’s help.

An inspection took place this morning, and items still need to be moved or disposed of. All items must be off the floor, except for the enclosed storage lockers placed where the permanent storage units were located. Items can be placed on top of the storage cabinets, but they cannot remain on the floor. If items are not moved, they will be disposed of.

While cleaning takes place on Friday, a final inspection of the garage will determine if all items have been removed. Over the weekend, 4/18 & 4/19, the garage will be closed to vehicle traffic, but foot traffic will be allowed. These are the last days residents can enter the garage until the project is complete.

On Monday, April 20th, the floor preparation will begin with work starting at 7:00 am. All garbage chutes on all floors will be closed and will remain closed for the duration of the project. Signs will be posted, and the chute doors will be taped shut. Please do not throw anything down the chute, as it will not reach the dumpster and can produce odors. During the project, all trash dumpsters, compost, and recycling must be brought to the loggia. The dumpsters and bins will be placed on the East and West ends of the loggia.

4/6/2026- As of today, the project is 11 days away. The floor cleaning will be completed on Friday, April 17th. The garage will need to be cleared of all vehicles by 7:00 am on this day. We advise everyone to move their vehicles on Thursday night, 4/16.

While the garage is getting cleaned, we will inspect the rest of the garage to ensure all personal items have been removed. If you need assistance with removing any items, please reach out to the office and request a work order to be placed on Dave’s schedule. There’s still plenty of room in the dump trailer if you need to dispose of any non-hazardous debris. If there are any unclaimed or remaining personal items, they will be placed in the dump trailer for disposal.

I’ll reiterate this as we get close to the project, but I wanted to mention the plan for garbage, compost, and recycling. All of the bins and dumpsters from the East end of the garage will be placed on the East end of the loggia, and all bins and dumpsters on the West end of the garage will be placed on the West end of the loggia. This will take place on Monday, April 20th. At that time, all garbage chutes will be closed, and all debris will need to be brought down to the loggia for the duration of the project, as the trash rooms will be coated.

3/26/2026- Today, a dump trailer was placed on the West side of the main entrance. Please use this dumpster to dispose of any non-hazardous unwanted household items. This is primarily meant as a means to dispose of items inside the parking garage that you no longer need or want. The dumpster will be brought to Loyds transfer station for disposal. They will not take tires, paint, batteries, bicycles, appliances, stuffed furniture, mattresses/box springs, or electronics as part of the standard dump, and additional charges apply for any of these items. If you need assistance with this, please submit a work order to the office to be placed on Dave’s schedule.

If you have any household hazardous waste, electronics, countertop appliances, or small electric items. They can be brought to the Ramsey County Environmental Center. The link below will take you to their website.

Multiple charities will accept bike donations if you’re looking to put your unused bike to good use. A Google search will provide many options to choose from.

https://www.ramseycountymn.gov/residents/recycling-waste/environmental-center

3/24/2026- Today, we’ll provide specific details on the floor coating project.

What is needed from you:

Vehicles will need to be out of the garage by 6:30 am on Friday, April 17, and will remain outside until noon on Sunday, April 26th. This is subject to change if there are any delays; any changes will be communicated. Parking is available at the driving range lot (across Larpenture), the east side of Coffman St, and the main parking lot. Please be mindful of these spots and leave them available for the less mobile residents. Parking map below.
If you have a bike in the garage, the gated storage on each end, and in the middle can be used as storage. There is limited space, and it will be filled on a first-come basis. If you need assistance, please contact the office and submit a work order to be placed on Dave’s schedule. This is also a good time to consider the donation or disposal of unused bikes.
All storage bins, loose personal items, and open shelving will need to be moved or stored on top of permanent or semi-permanent storage. See the photo below for a visual explanation.
A dump trailer will be placed on the concrete to the East of the main entrance. This can be used to dispose of any non-hazardous household items. Please do not place tires, paint, batteries, bicycles, appliances, stuffed furniture, mattresses/box springs, or electronics into the dump trailer. If you have any of these items and would like assistance, we can address them on a case-by-case basis with fees to apply. See the parking map for the dump trailer location. The trailer will be placed there
As with most coatings, the products that will be used on the garage floor do have strong odors and can be hazardous when exposed to them. The garage’s ventilation system will be kept on during the entire project, but you may want to consider alternative sleeping arrangements on the two days the coatings will be applied. Wednesday, April 22nd, and Thursday, April 23rd. The safety data sheets for all products are included in the project links above.

Video showing floor prep and coating process

3/23/2026- This is the initial post for the upcoming parking garage floor cleaning and coating project. There will be more information to come, but we wanted to provide the proposed dates (plan) and the owner’s expectations as soon as possible. Arrangements for ventilation, parking, garbage/recycling, and debris disposal have been considered and will be communicated as the project gets closer.

For a period of 10 consecutive days, the parking garage will shut down. Friday, April 17th, through Sunday, April 26th, are the dates work will be completed.

On Friday, April 17th, the floor will be swept up to remove all loose debris.
On Monday, April 20th, the floor will be prepared using a steel shot blasting machine and diamond grinding of the concrete. This will be the noisiest day of the project.
On Tuesday, April 21st, the floor preparation will continue, where cracks and minor defects will be repaired.
On Wednesday, April 22nd, the base coat will be applied to the entire floor and allowed to cure overnight.
On Thursday, April 23rd, the final topcoat will be applied to the entire floor and allowed to cure overnight.
On Friday, April 24th, striping of all numbers, parking stalls, and cross-hatches will be completed.
On Saturday, April 25th, all coatings will be allowed to cure.
On Sunday, April 26th, residents can return to the parking garage.

To complete this project, the entire parking garage needs to be cleared out. This includes all vehicles and personal items not stored in or on top of the permanent storage cabinets. The start of the project is 25 days out. If you will need assistance, please submit a work order to the office so you can be placed on Dave’s schedule. The sooner the better, as his schedule will fill up quickly.

Chiller/Boiler Pipe Insulation Project Complete!

3/16/2026- Today, the final touches were completed in the boiler room. To say a lot is going on in there would be an understatement! Tomorrow, they will return to complete a final cleaning.

At the beginning of the project, a small leak was discovered on a fitting above parking stall 1, unit 121. The leak was so small that it was missed during the insulation removal and pipe inspection. There wasn’t even enough water to drip onto the floor, but it will saturate and damage the insulation over time. This repair will be completed during the system changeover from heating to cooling. Once we have a date for this, we’ll reach out to the owner(s) of 121 directly to clear space for the work.

In the near future, another project in the parking garage will be announced. The entire parking garage floor will be cleaned, recoated, and striped. Once all of this work is finished, the drains will be jetted.

We are planning a pre-project meeting with the vendors who will be working on this project. We will create a plan that will be communicated to the residents as soon as the logistics are agreed upon.

3/10/2026- The project is winding down with only minor details in the parking garage, the boiler room, and the workshop remaining. These last locations will have minimal impact on your daily routines. Please use caution when moving about the parking garage, as the crew completes the remaining work. Thanks again for all of your cooperation during this project.

3/4/2026- Today, the crew will finish insulating the last large section of chiller/boiler pipes. Tomorrow’s work will only impact five unit owners. The map below identifies those stalls and the units associated with them.

If you live in (222, 224, 306, 314, and 115), please prepare to have your vehicles out of the parking garage by 6:00 am, Thursday, 3/5. This will complete the work on the pipes above the parking stalls.

There are still pipes located in the main drive lane, the workshop, and the boiler room that need to be insulated. We will notify the community when the workshop will receive work. The boiler room will have little to no impact on the residents, and the remaining drive lane will only require caution and patience to allow the workers time to move out of the way.

3/3/2026- Today, the crew spent the day working on the pipes in the main drive lane to allow those in stalls 62-71 to make arrangements to have their vehicles moved by 6:00 am Wednesday, 3/4. If you live in (120, 320, 232, 334, 134, 312, 212, and 216), your vehicles will need to be moved this evening or early tomorrow morning.

On Thursday, March 5th, the final chiller/boiler pipes above parking stalls will be insulated. These stalls are located on the inner wall and don’t impact every stall. On this day, stalls 73, 79, 81, 82, and 96 will be worked on. If you live in (222, 224, 306, 314, and 115), please have your vehicles out of the garage by 6:00 am Thursday, March 5th.

Please contact the office in advance of your scheduled day, and Robbie and Dave will provide help as necessary.

3/2/2026- We are on the home stretch of the project! Today, the insulation crew is working on the last stalls (56-61) along the back, South wall. If you live in (226, 326, 130, 126, 220, and 332), you can bring your vehicles back inside the garage today after 3:00 pm.

Tomorrow, no cars need to be removed from the garage. The crew will work on the remaining pipes above the main drive lane. This means they will be on ladders in the drive lane, so please be patient and use caution when moving about the garage. If they are obstructing the lane, they will move out of the way to allow you to pass.

On Wednesday, March 4th, the last section of vehicles will need to be moved from the garage. Stalls 62-71 on the East side of the garage will need to be out by 6:00 am Wednesday, 3/4. If you live in (120, 320, 232, 334, 134, 312, 212, and 216), please have the stalls vacated before the crew’s arrival.

Please contact the office in advance of your scheduled day, and Robbie and Dave will provide help as necessary.

2/26/2026- This week has been very productive! Thanks to everyone for the cooperation during the project. The proposed sections for today and tomorrow are going as planned.

If your stalls are being worked on today, you can bring your vehicles back inside after 3:00 pm. If you live in (203, 302, 205, 305, 112, 106, 206, 204, and 304), thank you for your cooperation.

On Monday, March 2nd, the crew will finish the last six stalls on the back wall (56-61) and the pipes inside the East storage gate. Please have your vehicles out of the garage by 6:00 am Monday, 3/2.

If you’re having trouble locating your stall on the map, please note that the two-digit number is the stall number, and the three-digit number is your unit number.

Please contact the office in advance of your scheduled day, and Robbie and Dave will provide help as necessary.

2/25/2026- Today, the crew worked on the pipe above stalls 23-31. They were able to get everything completed, so you may bring your vehicles back inside the parking garage after 3:00 pm.

Tomorrow, the crew will be working on the pipes above stalls 32-43. If you live in (203, 302, 205, 305, 112, 106, 206, 204, and 304), please prepare to have your vehicle out of the garage by 6:00 am, before the crew’s arrival. To avoid the need to wake up early, please consider moving your vehicle out of the garage this evening.

The plan for Friday, February 27th, is to work on the pipes above stalls 44-55. If you live in (104, 308, 208, 218, 318, 108, 128, 330, 230, 118, 328, and 228), please plan on having your vehicle out of the garage by 6:00 am Friday, 2/27

Please contact the office in advance of your scheduled day, and Robbie and Dave will provide help as necessary.

2/24/2026- Today, the insulation crew is working on stalls 11-22 and is expected to be done with this section by the end of their workday. Thank you for having all of your vehicles out of the way. You may bring your vehicles back inside after 3:00 pm.

Tomorrow, 2/25, the crew will be working on the pipes above stalls 23-11. If you live in (327, 129, 127, 329, 107, 207, 105, and 103), please have your vehicles out of your stall by 6:00 am. You may bring your vehicles back inside after 3:00 pm Wednesday.

On Thursday, February 26th, the crew will move to the next section, where stalls 32-43 will be worked on. If you live in (203, 302, 205, 305, 112, 106, 206, 204, and 304), please prepare to have your vehicles out of the garage by 6:00 am Thursday.

Please reach out to the office in advance of your scheduled day, and Robbie and Dave will provide help as necessary.

2/23/2026- Today, the insulating crew began working on the far West side of the parking garage. Stalls 1-10 will be completed by the end of the day, and these owners can bring their cars back inside the garage.

Tomorrow, stalls 11-22 will need to have their vehicles out of the garage by 6:00 am. This will impact units (115, 213, 219, 319, 331, 231, 117, 317, 217, 229, and 227). If you live in these units, please have your parking stall cleared before the crew’s arrival.

The plan for Wednesday, February 25th, is to work on the chiller/boiler pipes above stalls 23-31. These vehicles must be out of the parking garage by 6:00 am. This will impact units (327, 129, 127, 329, 107, 207, 105, and 103). Please keep an eye out for additional updates if anything changes.

2/20/2026- The insulation crew has been working for the last few days. You will notice the new bright white pipes as you enter the parking garage. The crew now has a good idea of how much piping can be insulated in a given day. NCS has a tech on-site today to replace the broken hangers.

Next week, the crew will begin working within the parking stalls. As previously mentioned, this will be done in sections to minimize the number of cars that can’t be in the parking garage, and so all vehicles can park in the lot in front of the building. If you need assistance with moving vehicles. Please reach out to the office, and Robbie and Dave will provide help as necessary.

On Monday, February 23rd, stalls 1-10 will need to have their vehicles out of the garage by 6:00 am. On Tuesday, February 24th, stalls 11-22 will need to have their vehicles out of the garage by 6:00 am. If you’re unsure of your parking stall number, please refer to the garage floor plan below. These two sections have been labeled and highlighted.

2/18/2026- Today, the first batch of material was staged in the car wash stall. With the insulation removed from the pipes above the parking stalls and the drive lane, the crew began insulating the pipes without obstructions. The plan is to have them insulate these pipes for the next few days, to get a better idea of how much piping can be insulated per day. This is a detailed and tedious process.

On Friday, an update will be sent out to notify which stalls will need to be vacated by Monday morning to allow those pipes to be insulated. This will be done in smaller sections to minimize the impact on the community. If you need assistance with moving your vehicle, please work with Dave and the office, as they would be happy to assist.

2/17/2026- Great news! The crew removed all of the insulation from the chiller/boiler pipes. This means the parking garage is reopened. Please feel free to move your vehicles back inside at your convenience. Tomorrow, the crew will bring in the materials and begin insulating the main pipes that run down the drive lane. This will have minimal impact on your daily routine, but please use caution. The crew will work around vehicles as they come and go, but please be patient with them.

We will discuss a plan for the pipes above the parking stalls and communicate which stalls will need to be removed from the garage at a time. The plan is to keep the sections small enough utilize the parking lot in front of the building and the close spots on Coffman St. only. We’ll do our best to minimize the time the garage is unavailable and keep the crew working. Thanks for your patience and cooperation as we work through this project.

2/16/2026- Today, the crew began removing the insulation from the chiller/boiler pipes. They made good progress and are about 1/3 of the way done. Tomorrow, they will have a few more people on-site, with the intention of getting the rest of the pipes cleared by the end of the day. If this happens, an update will be sent out notifying everyone that they can move their vehicles back inside the garage.

On Wednesday, the pipes will be inspected. This can be done with vehicles inside the garage. They will also begin to stage the garage with the materials needed to insulate the pipes. Once the pipes are inspected, we will determine if the insulation installation can begin. This portion will be done in sections, so all vehicles don’t have to park outside. The garage floor plan will be used to communicate which stalls will be completed at a given time.

At 6:00 am on Monday, February 16th, the first phase of the chiller/boiler pipe reinsulation project will begin. During this phase, the entire parking garage will be shut down for approximately 3 days to ensure clear access for the crew to work and no damage to vehicles occurs.

While the garage is closed Monday through Wednesday, parking will be available at three locations. The main parking lot in front of the building, except along lillacs, the driving range parking lot across Larpenteur Ave, and along Coffman St. Please see the map below for additional information.

During this time, all of the chiller/boiler pipes with white fiberglass insulation will be stripped and disposed of. There are many pipes in the parking garage; only those connected to the heating and cooling systems, and currently insulated with white fiberglass, will be worked on. Once the insulation is removed, all pipes, fittings, and valves will be inspected for pin holes, deterioration, or other deficiencies. The parking garage will reopen once this process is completed.

After all pipes have been inspected and measured, a list of the repairs and materials will be compiled. If multiple repairs are needed, these repairs will need to wait until warmer temperatures, as they will require draining the system and the loss of heat in the building. If no repairs are needed, the second phase can commence.

The second phase will be the final phase and will be broken up into sections of the parking garage. New insulation and sealing of all fittings will be completed. This is done to reduce heat loss during the heating season and the formation of condensation during the cooling season.

During the project, regular updates will be posted to the project blog and emailed to the residents. The project will be completed in this manner to limit the inconvenience placed on the residents and ensure the work is completed as efficiently as possible. By exposing all of the pipes first, we’ll have a firm understanding of the necessary repairs, the size of the pipes, and ensure all materials will be onhand.

Please contact 612-254-7373 or Email Info@Atlasmn.com with any questions or concerns.

Although the parking garage will open on Sunday around noon, the dumpsters, compost, and recycling will remain in the loggia until Monday morning. Once everything has been placed in its normal locations, the trash chute will reopen, and normal use of the garage can resume.

On Monday, the parking bump stops will be dispersed at each of the stalls. New speed bumps have been ordered and will be installed. As always, please watch your speed and use caution when moving about the parking garage.

4/21/2026- Today, the remaining shot blasting floor preparation will be completed. The first batch of product was delivered and staged in the parking garage. Some low spots will be filled with patching material to reduce ponding, but this does not include skim-coating of the spalled concrete.

4/20/2026- The shot blasting crew arrived around 7:00 am and will be completing this work for the remainder of the day and some of tomorrow. The trash chutes are now closed for the remainder of the project. All trash, compost, and recycling have been placed on the East and West ends of the loggia.

Tomorrow, the remaining shot blasting will be completed in conjunction with the crack and joint repairs. This will be the last prep day before the coating begins on Wednesday morning.

4/17/2026- Thanks to all! The parking garage was pretty well cleaned out. The remaining items were removed, and the floor sweeping is taking place. Everything will be ready for the coating crews’ arrival on Monday morning.

Please remember to not park along the lilac bushes to leave space for the trash, dumpsters, recycling and compost bins. Please also be mindful of leaving the upper parking lot spaces for your neighbors with limited mobility.

On Monday, April 20th, the coating crew will arrive around 7:30 am to begin setup for the day of shot blasting. This process will begin around 8:00 am. This process does create a lot of noise. Residents on the first floor should be prepared for the noise on this day.

The trash chutes will remain open for the weekend. On Monday morning, the chutes and trash rooms will be closed, and all trash, recycling, and compost will need to be brought down to the loggia.

4/16/2026- Today is the last day the parking garage will be open for vehicle traffic until Sunday, April 26th. Please double-check your parking stalls to ensure all items have been removed. We suggest you park outside this evening, or you must have them moved by 7:00 am tomorrow.

I confirmed with the coating crew that spaces under 12″ wide will not be coated due to the width of the applicators. This means gaps smaller than 12″ between storage cabinets will not be coated. Items in this space can remain as long as they don’t protrude past the base of the cabinet.

I wanted to remind everyone of the proposed project plan.

On Friday, April 17th, the floor will be swept up to remove all loose debris.

On Monday, April 20th, the floor will be prepared using a steel shot blasting machine and diamond grinding of the concrete. This will be the noisiest day of the project.

On Tuesday, April 21st, the floor preparation will continue, where cracks and minor defects will be repaired.

On Wednesday, April 22nd, the base coat will be applied to the entire floor and allowed to cure overnight.

On Thursday, April 23rd, the final topcoat will be applied to the entire floor and allowed to cure overnight.

On Friday, April 24th, striping of all numbers, parking stalls, and cross-hatches will be completed.

On Saturday, April 25th, all coatings will be allowed to cure.

On Sunday, April 26th, residents can return to the parking garage.

4/6/2026- As of today, the project is 11 days away. The floor cleaning will be completed on Friday, April 17th. The garage will need to be cleared of all vehicles by 7:00 am on this day. We advise everyone to move their vehicles on Thursday night, 4/16.
