Project Expenditure
This project will require careful budget planning in the construction of the covered walkways. We need to determine the most economical way to fund new improvements of newly covered walkways on the campus grounds. As you know, the cover will go over already existing walkways. In some instances some sidewalks may have to be replaced due to necessary modifications but the charges were taken into consideration in the total cost. Some buildings around the campus have some cover connecting one building to another so we need to consider not only the price, but also the style and shape of the new covers. All of these covered walkways are different in design, possibly to complement the design of the nearby buildings; however, none of the building covers are designed to match one Figure 5 another. Special care is required in choosing the right style of cover. The first of the existing covered walkway is by the South Entrance of the Graham Covered Walkways Proposal Page 9
Second Phase is priced at $469,170 and will cover a total of 1,404 of linear feet. Connecting to phase 1, the covered walkway begins by the Engineering & Computer Science Building at the Southeast corner's sidewalk. It will go West 1,050 feet and it has two connections. The first connection will be at the 400 feet mark and will be 40 feet long going South to the Viertes Haus Building, the other connection will be at 950 feet and will run 230 feet going South and at the end of the 1,050 feet going north connecting the South entrance of Sanford and Dolores Ziff Education Center. This other section of covered walkway begins by the South entrance of the Viertes Haus connecting 50 feet to the Northwest side of the Green Library. Lastly, the following will begin by the West side entrance of the Owan Ethan Building connecting 40 feet of cover to the Northeast side of the Green Library.

Fourth Phase is priced at $387,200 with a total of 1,160 feet. It will begin by the East entry of the Charles Perry Building (Primera Casa) and connect to the South entry of the Ernest R. Graham University Center with 143 feet going from West to East. This other segment of will have a 522 feet running South which will be located at the mid-center of the existing covered walkway that connects the Charles Perry Building (Primera Casa) and Parking Garage 1 Gold. Another section will connect the South entrance of the Parking Garage 1 Gold and Parking Garage 2 Blue which consists of 93 feet from North to South. Finally, the following segment with 402 feet of covered walkway will begin by the back South entrance of the Deuxiume Maison going Southwest to the University Towers buildings' entrance.
