Brooks Drive project update

The D.W. Brooks Drive Chilled Water Piping Project is underway and progressing well. The project construction team is working diligently to maintain the project on schedule for a summer 2018 completion while managing the impacts to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area.

Because of safety and logistical constraints, the job site footprint and site boundaries have been expanded. The S05 lot directly across from Boyd Graduate Studies Building and the S05 lot between Hardman Hall and the Electronics Shop will be closed until May 30. Additionally, Soule Street will close to through traffic on Feb. 19 and used for service/construction/delivery vehicles only. Vehicular traffic will travel both directions on West Green Street from Sanford Drive to the S05 lot at Hardman Hall from Feb. 19 through May 30.

Because safety is of paramount importance for all campus construction projects, pedestrians are urged to heed all directions and/or warnings of detour signage, barricades, flagmen, etc. Do not tamper with or alter construction barricades. It is important to plan accordingly and prepare to alter pedestrian travel routes across campus.
