Construction Updates, October 2023

Secor Road has reopened in time for the start of the Fall semester. The road has been closed since January 3 for a full bridge replacement, hindering student flow and increasing car traffic on campus. The bridge opened one-lane traffic in both directions on August 23.

West Centennial Mall (the space between Wolfe Hall, Memorial Field House, and the Student Union) was complete in time for the start of the Fall semester as well, with previous desire paths between buildings now paved sidewalks.

North Engineering will undergo continued internal renovations, which are slated to end by January 2023. All classrooms and laboratories currently in Palmer Hall will then move to North Engineering, allowing for the eventual destruction of Palmer Hall.

Construction on a pedestrian bridge across Douglas Road is scheduled to begin in "early 2024," according to a previous interview with Nicole Baden, University Architect and Director of Planning, Design, and Construction.
