Deferred Maintenance Projects in Administration Building Start This Week

The Administration Building will undergo a multi-phase deferred maintenance project starting this summer. This project will address failing HVAC systems and replace inefficient windows and lighting fixtures, leading to significant improvements in ongoing maintenance needs and energy efficiency. The project is 100% funded by State of Idaho Deferred Maintenance funding and has no impact on university reserves.

The first phase of this project work will begin as soon as May 1 to the top floor of the building. To facilitate this work, building occupants will be relocated for several months floor by floor, beginning with the 3rd floor of the building. Please be aware that the following Administration Building offices will be relocating during the final week of April, and will be operating at the following locations:

• General Counsel, Business Technology Center, Suite 116, on April 15th
• Human Resources, Albion Hall, Suites 116 and 113, on April 21st and 27th
• Cashier’s Office, Administration Building, 1st floor, Room 141, on April 28th
• Student Financial Services, Leonard Hall (Pharmacy) Suite 128, on April 28th
• Academic Affairs, Rendezvous Student Success Center, Suite 323, on April 29th
• AVP for Office for Research, Business Technology Center, Suite 113 

HVAC, lighting and window improvements to the top floor are expected to be completed during the Fall 2026 semester. At that time, further announcements will be shared as occupants of the second floor—including the Office of the President, Finance, Purchasing, and Campus Operations—temporarily relocate to other campus locations until late 2026 to early 2027.
