- • The Academy Hall Parking Lot will be reduced
in capacity. Only Academy Hall Permit Holders will be allowed to park.
The project will be phasing in the installation of new storm sewers,
lighting, paving and striping. This work will require phased closure
of most of the lot except for the designated permitted spots. This
lot and the 15th Street front lot, scheduled to start reconstruction
June 19, will reopen at full capacity prior to the fall semester.
-
- • There will be no car or pedestrian access
allowed through the Service Gate B off College Avenue ( near 13th
Street). Only trucks and emergency vehicles will be allowed into the
core campus at that point. New underground utility work will involve
deep excavation across the Service Drive. There will be no provisions
for pedestrian crossing in this area. All permitted non-commercial
vehicles that need access to the Research Quad (Folsom Library, VCC,
MRC, Cogswell) area or JEC circle will need to enter through the 8th
Street and Sage Avenue Gates throughout the summer. Contact Public
Safety (276-6616) for best path to accessible parking near those buildings.
- • The pedestrian pathway from the Academy Hall
Parking Lot that leads to the Jonsson Rowland Science Center will
be closed. A temporary path will be provided once the Academy Hall
Lot fully reopens and all construction sitework is completed in the
area. All pedestrians should access the Research Quad area from the
JEC or the north campus walkways.
-
- • As a safety precaution, temporary fencing
will be installed alongside the curb on the southside of College Avenue,
between 13th and 8th Street, to prevent pedestrians from walking into
truck and construction traffic enroute or working on the Parking Garage
site. There will be some designated openings for residents to access
their driveways. The “No Parking” restrictions will continue
on the street from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, Monday through Friday,
until the work is completed in the fall.
-
- • There will be limited pedestrian and vehicular
access in the Research Quad area throughout the summer and early fall.
McCarthy and its subcontractors will be excavating and installing
new steam and condensate piping and IT conduit ductbank in the area
west of Jonsson Rowland Science Center. The handicapped parking area
will be open but access to it will be from the north. All excavated
areas will be fenced off but all pedestrians are urged to keep alert
to truck or construction vehicles.
