Greetings Campus Community,
The roofing contractor will have a crane on site on Friday, Sept. 19 to remove roofing debris off of Founders Residence Hall. The crane will be positioned on the west side of Founders, just off Eliza Farnham Drive. The bus stop on that corner will remain open and accessible. The red rectangle on the included image indicates the approximate location for the crane.
Please use caution if you need to travel near the residence hall. Construction zones and equipment placement areas will be marked to assist with navigation and ensure safety.
We hope you will be able to join in celebrating this year’s University Scholars Award recipient on Wednesday, September 24.
