Art Place Construction Update: September 29, 2025
Social Justice Construction Update at Kennedy & 3rd Street NE
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 is planned to 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
Construction Activities
• Interior building demolition and removal of existing windows will continue the week of 9/26 and
will last for several weeks.
• Site demolition is anticipated to begin towards the middle/end of October.
• 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.
