Improved Access from our Parking Lots to the Main Plaza and Academic Buildings

Project Update as of January 11, 2021

Construction continued this Fall with work being finalized in the Central 3 parking lot, new parking being added behind the the Natural Science building, and restoring the loading dock and accessible parking areas at the rear of the Physical Education building.
