Timeline

May 4 - August 8, 2026

Please note that this schedule may change due to weather or site conditions.

What to Expect

During this project, campus traffic and access patterns near the affected work areas may change.

  • The main campus entrance on University Boulevard will be closed at the south end of Parking Lot 3.
  • Parking Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 will remain open.
  • All vehicle access to these lots will be rerouted via Center Park Boulevard.
  • Single-lane traffic will be in place from the Campus Ministry Center to the Residence Life and Housing Community Center.
  • RTA and CATS bus stops will be temporarily relocated to Parking Lot 11, the former bus stop location, during the project.

Some pedestrian walkways may be temporarily closed. Please follow posted signs and use designated detour routes. Pedestrian access across campus will continue through the tunnel system in Millett Hall.
