Please note: As a correction to the OnCampus email, the date and time of the house moves are still being determined.
There are three houses that Drake University owns along Brattleboro Avenue that are being planned to move to the Sherman Hill area in Des Moines. The anticipated moving date is still being determined but expected to take place in the coming weeks. Once a moving date is finalized, it will be communicated with campus.
The houses will be lifted from their foundations and put on a semi-trailer and placed in parking lot 24. This means a section of lot 24 will be blocked off for parking until the houses are moved.
The planned route around Drake will start at parking lot 24, across from the Olmsted lot, and go east on University Avenue, before moving south onto 26thStreet, and then east again on Cottage Grove.
These houses are being moved to make way for new additional parking in lot 24 and are part of the new Harkin Institute building project.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact Kelly Foster.
