Update on Convergence Center Construction
Groundbreaking for the Information and Technology Convergence Center is expected to begin after Commencement activities. On Monday, May 14, Facilities Services will close Campus Walk and route all handicapped and pedestrian traffic onto College Avenue until mid-June. At that time, handicapped traffic will remain on College Avenue, but a pedestrian bypass around the construction site will be routed through the Simpson Parking Lot. This detour configuration will remain in effect for the duration of the project.
Currently, Facilities Services is installing utilities to support the center. This work is centered primarily in the Simpson access road between the Jepson Science Center and the Simpson Library. Along with closure of Campus Walk, the bridge in front of Arrington Hall will be closed to prepare for the relocation of city water, sewer and fire mains. This area and the entire construction site will remain fenced for the duration of the project.
Construction on the Convergence Center will commence in late June or early July with an anticipated completion date of spring 2014. Access to Simpson Library will be via the Campus Walk entrance from Woodard Campus Center.
