Art Place Construction Update: May 1, 2026

Overview

‍‍
• Work will typically take place from 7:00AM to 5:00PM. On a case-by-case basis, permitted work may extend to 7:00PM, mainly for clean-up and site preparation for the next day.
• The alleyway off Kennedy Street will be closed during the duration of the project to isolate construction activities from school and pedestrian traffic. Please refer to the attached plan for a visual.
• L.F. Jennings will coordinate with Social Justice School operations to ensure access to the alleyway is provided for maintenance needs.
• Deliveries will primarily come in through the alleyway off Kennedy St. or the loading dock on 3rd St, as shown on the attached plan.
• While we aim to schedule deliveries outside Rocketship and Social Justice School pickup and drop- off times, L.F. Jennings will have traffic control personnel present during deliveries to ensure pedestrian safety.
• Most construction activity will occur within the red outline shown on the attached plan. If work needs to extend beyond this area, notice will be provided through this update letter, and safety measures will be implemented.
• Social Justice School Pickup & Drop-off: 8:30AM-9:00AM and 4:00PM-4:30PM (12:15PM-12:45PM on Wednesdays)
• Rocketship Pickup & Drop-off: 8:00AM-8:30AM and 3:15PM-3:45PM 8pm-4am

Construction Activities

‍
• Interior building construction activities, will continue the week of 5/4.

• NOTE: Utility work on Kennedy St has been completed. Following DDOT direction, repaving where
utility work has occurred will be scheduled. This will likely take place at the end of May. During this
permitted closure, flaggers and other safety personnel will be present to ensure safe passage for
vehicles and pedestrians.

• As the project progresses, this Construction Update will be used to notify the community of large deliveries and upcoming construction activities that could impact surrounding neighbors.
