The Facilities Planning and Management (FPM) team is continuing the tree work plan to remove and prune trees. The majority of the tree pruning work has been completed including in the areas from Jewett to University Avenue and 25th Street to 28th Street. On Monday, March 13, FPM will remove the Sycamore west of Old Main. The west entrance will be temporarily blocked off to allow the removal process to take place. FPM hopes the tree removal will be completed within a two-day window.

The following buildings will also be affected by tree removal work the week of March 13: Cole Hall, Carnegie, Cowles, and Aliber.
