The completion of the Science Connector Building and Collier-Scripps Hall this summer is an exciting and major accomplishment. Now, construction on the next phase of the project––completion of the Robert D. and Billie Ray Promenade ––is in full swing. This project will provide a welcoming and beautiful outdoor space, while also enhancing accessibility and parking.

As highlighted in OnCampus last week, next steps in the construction process include the closure of the parking lot just north of Opperman Hall and the demolition of The Point. The Opperman parking lot will close this week. It is anticipated to re-open before the end of the semester if weather and contractor schedules cooperate. The Point is scheduled to be torn down the week of Oct. 9. 

Human Resources and the International Center have moved from The Point. HR is now located at 3206 University Ave., and the International Center is located at 1213 25th St. Continuing Education and Professional Development (formerly known as Extension Education) will move from 3206 University Ave. to Howard Hall today.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as this significant project takes shape.
