Recent Updates

There are important changes happening on campus.
Here's what you should know:


Updates as of October 10, 2025:
2nd Floor Ramp Closing

Construction begins on the ramp connecting the Main Building to the South Building. Access between the buildings on the 2nd floor (near the library and second-floor science lab) will be closed until further notice.

  • The Skywalk and South Building elevator remain accessible.
  • The ramp connecting the South Building and the Main Building will be closed.

Alternate Routes Between Buildings:

  • From the Main Building to the Commons Building:
    • The most direct route is outside across 42nd Street. Be sure to follow all traffic laws and use official city crosswalks.
    • As weather changes, foot traffic is recommended to remain indoors. Take the Main Building elevators to the Lower Level, follow signage to the South Building elevator, and proceed to the 2nd floor for Skywalk access to the Commons.
  • From the Commons Building to the Main Building via the Skywalk:
    Signage will direct individuals to take the South Building elevator to the Lower Level. Individuals then should follow signs to the Main Building elevators.

Updates as of October 1, 2025:
Main Building Front Entrance Changes

  • Beginning the week of October 1, the main entrance will be temporarily relocated to the door facing 42nd Street (see image).
  • All foot traffic will be redirected to this new entrance.
  • A fence will be installed around the area as construction of The Link begins.  
    This area will connect the Main and South Buildings.
  • Howard Hall and the Student Center are accessible via the west-facing door on 42nd Street or via the east-facing door on 41st Street. Both require a badge to enter.
  • The 42nd Street door will remain accessible via card access for students, faculty, and staff with 24/7 building entry privileges.
  • Deliveries can continue to be accepted at this entrance on a trial basis.
    If this becomes too congested, we will re-route deliveries to another location.
