Announcements

Paseo del Sur and Path Closures June 11 – December 31
A portion of the Paseo del Sur and the staircase south of the EB will be closed from June 11, 2018 through December 31, 2018, as part of the ongoing SEB project. During the closure, there will not be a continuous route along the Paseo del Sur from the Ford Avenue Lot bus stop to the ART and EB as well as the staircase between the ART and FLN - signage will be posted to assist with detours. 

There are also plans to install a covered Paseo walkway and a temporary path northeast of the BSE at the end of August 2018 to mitigate the Paseo closure. These plans are contingent on construction progress and will be announced when finalized. For additional information, please reference the attached maps or contact the Facilities Service Center at 458-4262.
