Construction Updates

Site work underway at 925 Terrace

Site work began at 925 Terrace Street Oct. 19, in preparation of building a three-story, modular office building. The initial scope of work will not involve street or sidewalk closures, though future work on site this fall will require closures. 

Installation of the prefabricated building will take place in phases, with the first to take place in November, pending permit approval. These installations will lead to traffic stoppages and closure of street parking on Ninth Avenue, Alder Street, and Terry Avenue, with exact locations to be shared closer to the date of work. There will also be utility installation later this fall that will require closure of Terry Avenue. 

Construction work is scheduled to last through at least April 2027. More information will be posted to this page as it becomes available. 

Two weeks of drilling at Ninth and Alder to start as soon as Oct. 26

HCID and UW Medicine, and their construction partners, will drill small holes along the perimeter of the vacant property at Ninth Avenue and Alder Street to survey the location of underground utilities for future construction. Work will last two weeks and may begin as soon as Oct. 26. Trucks will remove soil from the ground, which will generate noise and vibration. All work is expected to be performed on weekdays from 7am-5pm, with noisy work not beginning until 8am.  

This will also involve the following changes to traffic: 

• Parking lane closure on the west side of Ninth Avenue between Alder Street and Fir Street.
• Parking lane closures on Alder Street between Ninth Avenue and Terry Avenue.
• Partial street closures at the intersection of Ninth Avenue and Fir Street, with construction flaggers and police directing traffic. Portions of sidewalk will be closed in the area and street parking lanes will be closed on Ninth Avenue near the intersection.  
• Parking lane closures on Fir Street between Ninth Avenue and Broadway. 
• Parking lane closures on Alder Street between Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue.  
• Alley closure near Northwest Kidney Centers. 

There will be additional drilling taking place back from streets and sidewalks without impact to traffic. Please allow extra time to get around campus.
