Campus Construction

Canning Student Center

The Canning Student Center will be a welcoming beacon in our community. This new front door to campus will centralize services that are critical to student success, convene campus life activities to help foster students’ sense of belonging, and house the University Center and Hospitality Management programs. Learn more about the Canning Student Center.

Update: Access is restricted to the circle drive in front of Building A and the main entrance of Building A. If visiting Buildings A or C, parking on the north side of campus (in lots 8-14) may be preferable. Please allow yourself extra time to get around campus and refer to the interactive map for help with wayfinding. See the Canning Site Plan (PDF) for a map of affected areas.

Exterior Parking Striping

Avante – Thursday, 5/22/2025

Contractors will be striping in front of Avante to create the InZone drop off for classes this summer. Map

Elevator Outages:

Building A Passenger Elevator Out of Service - 4/3/2025 - date unknown
The elevator in Building A is currently out of service due to significant repairs. At this time, we do not have an exact timeline for when the work will be completed, but it is expected to take several weeks. The freight elevator is available, or the nearest elevators are in Building W and in Building L (near the Building P hallway). The Building L elevator will provide access to Building P, the second floor of Building C and the second and third floors of Building A.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue.

Pace Bus Stop:

To accommodate Canning Student Center construction, the bus stop for Pace route 697 has been temporarily relocated to the Dial-A-Ride Transportation stop by Building J and Lot 5. Effective: 12/16/24 through the end of the spring 2025 semester. After the spring semester, the stop will be moved in front of Building Y (date to be determined).

Buildings D & H – HVAC Maintenance Project, 5/19/2025 - 6/10/2025

Contractors will be working on the rooftop units during these dates between the hours of 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. Some classrooms and offices will experience temperature fluctuations during this time.

Building H – Steam Shutdown, 5/19/2025 - 5/27/2025

There is a planned steam shutdown to complete repairs on the HVAC system. The steam shut-down will affect:

Heating in Building H (perimeter and heating coils in the air handling equipment). If the weather is above 50 degrees those systems are likely not being used. If the temperature is 40 degrees and above it will have very little impact.
Domestic hot water in Building H
The hot deck for Building I & Building J will be offline. Similar to Building H, in weather above 50 degrees this should have little impact on operations.

Scheduled dates and work schedule:

Monday 5/19 – Harper to shut down steam and electrical contractor to disconnect existing CR unit first thing.
