This message is sent on behalf of Planning Project Management, Marcus Hurley.

The roadway between the Hall of Science site and Centennial Hall will be closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic from 7 am to 7 pm Tuesday July 16, for delivery of a large air handling unit. The campus shuttle will be rerouted during that time. Flaggers will be directing vehicular traffic around the work area during the day. Signage will alert pedestrian traffic to detours around closed sidewalks. There will be intermittent road closures (approx. 10-15 min) while the crane is loading and unloading trucks staging in the roadways south and east of the Hall of Science. McKinley Hall and Bender Library can be accessed via Fletcher Gate and the road east of Letts Hall. The Letts/Anderson courtyard will be accessible from the south, and access to the Centennial parking area will remain open at all times.
