Coutyard Repair and Renovation

Long-awaited repairs to address flooding and leaks in the Beckman Institute basement and sub-basement levels will begin in Spring 2026. The courtyard will be demolished, waterproofed, and reconstructed. There may be disruption to the building's entrances via the courtyard, and the potential for noise and vibrations throughout the building. The repairs are expected to be completed in August 2026.

Updates on project timeline, progress, and milestones will be posted here as they become available. The most frequent and time-sensitive communications, including links to monthly Town Hall meetings between BI staff and Planning, Design & Construction, will be distributed via the BI listserv, beckmaninstitute[at]caltech (to subscribe to the listserv, please email Pat Anguiano and request to be added).

For general questions, including questions to be relayed to the construction team, please email Beckman Institute Administrator Ariane Helou, who is serving as the liaison between the BI community and PD&C.

Town Hall meeting recordings and summaries are available here.
