As you have noticed, we are currently undergoing some much needed repair work on certain areas of concrete around the campus. This repair work will be completed in phases and is estimated to last through August 22nd. We are trying to have any traffic disruptions be as swift and minimal as possible. We will communicate any temporary traffic changes or closures with you as needed. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to complete this project.
