SU/Bookstore Service Lot Repair

On the morning of June 19th a minor sink hole was discovered around the storm drain within the SU/Bookstore service lot. The area has been cordoned off and crews are assessing repair options. Until the repairs are complete there will be no access to the SU loading dock. Expect a lot of activity in this area over the next few weeks.

UPDATE: Area Impacted by the Alumni Drive Closure

Due to the nature of the work, the area impacted by the storm drain repair work on Alumni Drive has been expanded. The sidewalks and paths around the Fine Arts Building will remain open. ADA spaces have been temporarily relocated.

Aggressive Seagulls on East Campus

We are experiencing aggressive seagull activity between the Library and Admin. We believe the chicks are starting to hatch, so the parents are becoming hyper protective. Pedestrians in this area should be aware and avoid the pathway through the trees next to the intersection of Science Circle and Alumni Drive. 

Alumni Drive Closure, June 12 to June 25

From June 12 to June 25 Alumni Drive will be closed between the Fine Arts Building and the Administration/Humanities Building. This closure is to accommodate repair work to campus storm drains. The Fine Arts Building and East Lot will be accessible from the north.

South Lot Repairs underway

On Tuesday, May 23 ground boring activity will occur in South Lot. The row of South Lot adjacent to the Engineering and Industry Building will be offline as a result of this activity. There was significant ground heaving during the seasonal break up this year. This work will inform our approach to mitigating this heaving in the future.

Natural Sciences Building Heating and Cooling Project

Work is underway this summer to install heating and cooling systems in the Natural Sciences Building. The heating and cooling for the building is presently served by a utility building across the East Campus Central Lot. The impacted area includes the wooded area north of the building and a section of the East Campus Central Lot. Work will include installation of boilers and drilling a cooling well in the wooded area north of the building.

Due to the impacted area, the pathway on the north side of the building will be closed. Pedestrians using the exterior paths should utilize the pathway along Providence Drive.

The Natural Sciences Building will remain accessible during construction. The interior pathway through the spine will be maintained.
