New Campus Drive Reconstruction
New Campus Drive from Commencement Drive to Redman Road has been completed and is open for use. The contractor is continuing to work east toward Cooper Hall with utility replacements between Commencement and the exit on the west side of the Allen Loop. This means if you are looking to park in Lot V and are traveling from Commencement Drive, you will need to enter Whited Way to reach the lot. A temporary pedestrian crossing will be in place for Townhome residents looking to cross New Campus Drive.
Work is expected to be completed and ready for paving later this spring. Following this year’s Commencement ceremonies the contractors will continue their work east to Cooper Hall, with expected completion by fall.
North Campus Infrastructure
The contractor to date has completed all underground utility replacements and 95% of new walks and planting beds. As weather permits the contractor will continue work at the east side of Harrison. Work is expected to continue on the new granite amphitheater seating and shade structure and the remaining sidewalk installations and grading in early spring. Catenary lighting will be installed in the gathering area between Perry, Bramley, and Briggs.
Residence Drive Reconstruction
This project is part of the larger North Campus Infrastructure project and includes replacing all underground utilities and moving Residence Drive to along the railroad tracks and, in turn, relocating parking closer to the buildings. Work is scheduled to begin following the 2021-22 Commencement ceremonies.

Carbon Monoxide Detection Project
