We ask all students, faculty, staff and visitors to stay alert during the construction of the new Biological Sciences building. You will need to plan for extra time to get to various locations in the heart of campus during construction. The construction zone will encompass the area from Oceanography and Physical Sciences at the pond bridge and extend east to the Elizabeth River Trail. The site will extend from the MagLev south through the space between Physical Science and the Mills-Goodwin Buildings. ÌýAdditionally, construction activities will occupy the oval between Perry Library and Engineering Systems Building.
Your safety is our top priority, and we ask that you visit this site often for construction updates and prepare for extra time to get to your various destinations around campus.Ìý
