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.

1/21/25 update: Fencing is scheduled to be installed around the Canning Student Center construction site beginning January 22, 2025. This will impact parking and pedestrian walkways. Access will be 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.

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 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.

Buildings

Building A – HVAC Improvements, 5/22/2025 - 9/5/2025
The Building A HVAC Upgrade Project includes improvements to the HVAC system and replacement of the Building Automation System (BAS) in designated areas of the building to enhance energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and overall system performance. To facilitate these upgrades, portions of the building will be temporarily closed, and staff in the affected areas will be required to work remotely during the construction period. Signage will be provided where areas are closed.

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.
Monday 5/19 thru Monday 5/26 – Contractor to change out and pipe new unit.
Tuesday 5/27 – Harper to bring up steam first thing (day prior is Memorial Day).
