Project activity will start Dec. 9 and occur between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. No interference with Commencement ceremonies, Dec. 11 – 13, is expected. Safety barriers will be erected around each excavation and the work utilizing heavier equipment is scheduled to occur after Dec. 15. Expect some pedestrian disruption in the affected areas. Detours will be established as needed, most likely directing foot traffic to Ferst Drive.

Following all Commencement activities, additional work such as cutting sidewalks will be necessary, and appropriate detours will be available. Project activity is scheduled for completion by Jan. 6. 

The campus community's patience and understanding are appreciated during this campus improvement project.
