Dear Campus Community,

Please be advised that MCORE Project 4 road construction on the west side of Wright Street from Chalmers Street to Green Street will continue through December. Alternate access routes will be maintained for buildings along the corridor at all times, but rerouting around the area is strongly encouraged.

This summer, MCORE project segments were completed along Armory Avenue from Fourth Street to Wright Street, as well as parts of Wright Street. A current project map with accessible pedestrian routes and building entrances is available.

Several significant sidewalk and bike pathway closures are also in place related to capital improvement projects in the following locations:

• Bardeen Quad (Campus Instructional Facility)
• Fourth Street (Siebel Center for Design at Illinois)
• Mathews Street (Civil Engineering Hydrosystems Laboratory)
• Southwest of Allen Hall (Red Oak Rain Garden reinstallation)

All approved closures on the Urbana campus, including maps and contact information, are posted on the Facilities & Services website. Approved closures are implemented following a carefully coordinated review of each request by F&S to establish alternate circulation routes in the best interest of pedestrian safety, accessibility, and minimizing potential conflicts for all transportation modes. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding as crews continue to perform work across the Urbana campus.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mohamed Attalla
Executive Director, Facilities & Services
