Construction on Stewart Street near the Chamisa Village apartments, which started earlier this month, just wrapped up.
The construction included roadway advancements, upgraded person-on-foot pathways and potential utility updates to better serve the developing undergraduate population in the area.
Brief fencing and reroute signs were put around the zone to guarantee security and safety. NMSU authorities said the changes are part of a long-term campus advancement plan to modernize offices and make a more pedestrian-friendly environment. This project addressed the area between Chamisa Village and the rest of campus.
Executive Director Jose Loera, who serves as the Official Executive of Venture Advancement and Building (PD&E) inside the Offices and Administrations division at NMSU, supervises, arranges plans and executes many campus projects.
“We have been working on this since last year,” Loera said. “Now we are completing the section between Stewart Street and Arrowhead Drive.”
According to Loera, the reason for the project was because the road conditions were dangerous. There were multiple potholes that would affect students’ vehicles.
“We do have a contractor on site,” Loera said. “We’re anticipating to complete that section of the road in about two weeks. We are also working some improvements to the sidewalks.”
Undergraduates living in Chamisa Village were told to expect minor disturbances. The university guaranteed inhabitants that endeavors will be made to play down the burden, with most work planned amid standard business hours.
