As most students leave for the summer after this weekend’s graduation exercises, construction equipment will emerge from hibernation to begin several major projects around campus.
Beginning May 14, two major projects will impact transportation on main campus: the Yarbrough Drive steam tunnel project and the start of the Carmichael Gymnasium renovation. The first will last until students return for the fall semester, while the second will last nearly 18 months.
Yarbrough Drive Steam Tunnel Project (May 14–Aug. 1)
- Yarbrough Drive will be closed to through traffic at the Mann South lot and Yarbrough lot.
- Yarbrough at Stinson Drive will adopt a new traffic pattern for one-way traffic during the duration of the project.

Carmichael Gym Project (May 14–Fall 2019)
- Cates Avenue will shift to one way only between Morrill Drive and Dan Allen Drive. Traffic will not be allowed to flow westbound on Cates towards Dan Allen Drive.
- Parking located directly in front of the Talley Student Union along Cates as well as approximately 30 spaces in the Carmichael lot will be blocked off for contractor staging.
- Parking along Morrill adjacent to the Dail Softball Stadium field will be used for an expanded pedestrian walkway.
- The Wolfline stop at Carmichael Gym will move approximately 200 feet south of its current location.
