Hazards, Outages, & Reroutes
Avoid the delay and stay informed about projects occurring on campus.
Our Capital Planning and Facilities Maintenance team are constantly working on improving our beautiful campus through various operational, preservation, and safety projects. Some of these projects may cause a temporary inconvenience that we ask you to be patient with as the project completions improve the overall student experience. Individual projects and interruptions listed below.
Here is a comprehensive map of our biennial 2025-2027 Capital Planning Campus Projects.
15 Minute Parking Lot Closure East Side of Black Hall Starting 7.14.26
Facilities Management crews are investigating a subsurface issue in the Black Hall east 15 minute/ADA parking lot. Due to the possible risk of further site deterioration, the area will be fenced off from further use until the investigation is complete and necessary repairs have been completed.
Partial Closure of Parking Lot P8 (Starting 7/6/2026 thru 9/01/26)
The northwest section of the P-8 parking lot and adjacent service drive area will be closed from July 6 until September 1st to accommodate contractors during the demolition of Farrell Hall, and continuing roof repairs of Brooks Library.
The map of the impacted area is helpful to review.
