According to ESPN, “Caddell Construction, immediately “adapted operations and processes, engaged in heightened cleaning, and took other protective measures for the health and safety of their employees” after learning of the positive tests.”
Alabama released a statement that said:
“From the start of the pandemic, UA has continuously mandated that our campus contractors take all necessary steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The contractors immediately adapted operations and processes, engaged in heightened cleaning, and took other protective measures for the health and safety of their employees. The University directly provided sanitation supplies, thermometers, and signage at all construction sites, and made personal protective equipment available to all contractors. Those processes, which have been in place since early March, are continuously refined based on the latest guidance from state, federal and industry leaders in order to protect the health and safety of the campus community.”
The renovation which began in November, is part of a $107 renovation that will include a renovated locker room and recruiting space, new video boards and new premium seats.
