May is upon us and our summer construction season will be here shortly.  Many of the projects that will start immediately following the completion of the spring semester have been bid and are the contractors are actively preparing to begin construction on campus.  This month’s 3-month look ahead is shorter as many of our summer projects have now been bid.

The list below is our best projection as to the expected timeline for projects that will be bidding through July.  We continue to offer this list in hopes that it helps the contracting community to understand what is ahead for construction activities here on our campuses.  While this list is as complete as we know it today, additional projects will be added to the schedule within the next three months.  We are working on these projects but do not have timeframes established for these today.  For a more accurate listing of planned projects, please visit our website at: Construction Look Ahead – Planning, Design & Construction – Missouri State University.  This listing will be updated as projects are added.

We welcome your interest in our projects.  We want to be of service to the construction community.  If you have any questions or suggestions, we’d love to hear from you.  You are welcome to call us at 417-836-5101 or send me an email.  Good communications always lead to better projects.  As always, we are working together to build a better Missouri State University.
