Cruz Plaza

The Cruz Plaza will be the new and rejuvenated heart of the Macon campus of good ole Mercer University. By adding this new landscape to campus, Mercer's reputation of a beautiful campus is exalted.

Considerations that the contractor has to take into account:

1. Previous Construction: The workers need to be aware that they are not building on new ground, so they have to work with previous blueprints so they won't break pipelines or sidewalks that are going to be needed.
2. Student Body Safety: There is constant movement on campus so they need to be aware of setting good barriers and avoid any harm. Also contamination (dust, debris) needs to be controlled since it is detrimental to the health of people around it.
