University Towers Project and Lot Closure Updates

As the University Towers brick and sealing project continues on the east side of the building, workers may repel from the roof and use a large lift at times. For safety reasons, we ask you to avoid parking, driving or walking in the area while the work is in progress.

In addition, the University Towers roof replacement is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. on Thursday, July 18. A large crane will be used to transport items on and off the roof. Work will begin early and may continue for long hours to complete the project. As no one should park, walk or drive in the lot behind the building during this time, the University Towers parking lot will be closed for the duration of the project beginning at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, July 17.

Breezeway access to the parking lot will also be closed, though breezeway access to the front of the building will remain open.

The parking lot entrance to SHINE will be closed, but the South and Main Street entrances to SHINE, Institutional Research and Human Resources will remain open.

Emergency exits will remain open throughout the project.

As always, be sure to use caution around this site and all active construction areas and stay alert to changing conditions.
