Area surrounding Yost Hall to be prepared for ISEB construction site

As shared in The Daily in the fall, work continues to prepare for construction of the Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB) on the northwest side of the Case Quad.

In the coming weeks, several trees will be removed from the area around Yost Hall—in accordance with recommendations from the designer’s and city of Cleveland’s professional arborists—to allow adequate space for the new building. Some trees will be replaced on site, but for any that cannot, the university has committed to plant a new tree elsewhere on campus.

“We will do everything in our power to mitigate the disruptions,” said Dean Tufts, vice president for campus planning and facilities management. “And we thank the entire campus community for their support and understanding during the demolition and construction phases.”

Yost Hall is scheduled for demolition in late April.
