On Monday, November 13 at 9:30 a.m., the City of Richardson will start work on railroad crossing repairs on Waterview Parkway, just south of Frankford Road. Only one lane will be open north and southbound traffic throughout the majority of the project, which is expected to be complete by December 8. Barricades will be setup in the area to aid with traffic flow and control. Please review the campus map and consider taking alternate routes when traveling to campus from the North.
Crews are preparing to construct a bus transit center directly south of the Visitor Center and University Bookstore (VCB) in order to improve traffic flow near the roundabout.

Work will begin on the west side of the building, moving east as the project progresses.
All main entrances to the building will remain open during the project. The sidewalk on the north side of the building will be partially closed for approximately two months to allow space for equipment and debris collection. Flagmen will be in place to direct pedestrian traffic as needed, and safety precautions will be strictly adhered to throughout the process. In addition, the project may cause loud noises and strong smells at times due to the required roofing equipment and materials.

The automatic-door sensors on the main north entrance will temporarily be disabled and signage will be in place while the work is completed over the weekend. To enter the building from the north, pedestrians should use the side patio glass doors instead.
As construction continues on phase 2 of Northside, Oncor crews will be working from June 29 through mid-July to relocate power lines for the development which also supply power to campus.
While no power outages are expected as part of this work, students, faculty and staff are encouraged to save their work often to keep data safe in the event an unplanned outage occurs.

All pedestrian pathways and entrances to the AD building will remain open during the project, aside from momentary pathway closures that may be necessary to move debris or equipment at times. Flagmen will be in place to direct pedestrian traffic as needed, and safety precautions will be strictly adhered to throughout the process.
A few accessible parking spaces near the west entrance of AD and a few spaces in Lot R will be closed during various phases of the project to allow adequate room for construction equipment. In addition, the project may cause loud noises and strong smells at times due to the required roofing equipment and materials.
We appreciate your understanding. Please continue to check this site for updates.

Facilities Management and its departments will be closed May 19 for an internal work day to perform safety checks, maintenance, and inventory updates. If an emergency arises on this date, it will be addressed promptly, but all other requests will be responded to the following business day. Please plan accordingly if you have upcoming events or work requests.
In preparation for the renovation of the 2nd floor classrooms in the west wing of the Administration Building (AD), demolition will begin May 19 to clear the rooms for construction. Most of the demolition will be done between 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. to minimize disruption. Demolition is expected to be completed by the end of May, and construction will commence in June. Throughout this process, the southwest building entrance is expected to remain open for use during regular business hours, however pedestrians may be directed to access the doors from the stairway off of the North Mall at times. Additionally, during the construction phase of the project some of the accessible parking spaces by the building will be blocked temporarily as part of the construction zone. The entire project is slated for completion in August to be ready for fall the semester.
Please continue to check this site for construction updates.
Several construction and maintenance projects in progress over the summer will temporarily alter some pedestrian and vehicular pathways.
In order to install utility lines for the new Engineering Building, portions of Lot H will be closed intermittently May 13 through August 15. Fencing and signage will be in the area as crews work through the installation in phases.
From May 15-27 crews will also be working to extend and connect a telecommunications duct bank to the Engineering Building. During this period, crews will intermittently and partially close Rutford Avenue. Signage will be in place to direct drivers to detour routes.
Also on May 15, Rutford Avenue will be closed from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. from Loop Road Northwest to Franklyn Jenifer Drive so crews can relocate a transformer which must be moved by crane.
Facilities Management will also relocate a generator on the southwest side of the Administration Building (AD) May 16-17. On these days, the accessible parking spaces and pedestrian paths near the southwest AD building entrance will be closed to allow ample space for large equipment. Please use the north entrances or the south entrance off of the mall instead.
In addition, work will begin to replace the Administration Building’s roof June 1. The project will take approximately two months and may cause loud noises and strong smells at times.
Summer renovations are also planned for the second floor classroom space in the Administration Building, the third floor Green Hall restrooms, and the newly leased space in the Synergy Park North (SPN) building.
Preparation for the construction of the University’s next academic building will also begin this summer. The new building will be located on the current site of the Visual Arts Building, and is expected to primarily house science courses. Construction fencing will be placed in the area, but pedestrian and vehicular pathways around the site will remain accessible. Current work and instructional spaces inside the Visual Arts Building will be relocated to the Research Operations Center West (ROW) building and a new 6,000 square-foot gallery will be added to the second phase of the Synergy Park North (SPN) building.
Additionally, maintenance will be conducted on several parking lots over the summer to repair damaged asphalt and restripe faded markings. The work will be done in phases with various sections of the following lots closing temporary: Lots A, B, C, D, E, G, H, J, L, M, P, Q, R , S, T, U, V, W, and the Armstrong parallel parking. In addition, renovations are planned for the configurations of Drive C and Lot J over the summer. Watch for signage and barricades in the parking lots and review the parking map for alternate parking options.
Please continue to check this site for updates on summer construction and maintenance projects. Schedules are subject to change.
From 6:00 p.m. on May 12 through May 17, there will be a campus-wide steam outage to allow for scheduled maintenance. During this outage, there will be no hot water or heat in most of the buildings on campus. Dining Hall West (DHW) and Student Union Dining Hall (SUFC) will still have hot water. This outage will not impact cold water, electricity or air conditioning on campus.
Please continue to check this site for updates on construction projects around campus.
From 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 25, a portion of Rutford Avenue, south of Loop Road to the south access road of Parking Structure 3 (PS3), will be closed to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Crews will be using a crane to lift a utility unit to the top of PS3 to support the new Blackstone Launch Pad project, which will be housed in the corner retail space of the structure.
During the closure, barricades and road flaggers will be in place to direct both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Beginning Thursday, March 23, the City of Richardson will be making an emergency repair to a domestic water line at the intersection of Floyd Road and Bryce Jordan Drive. Lane closures are expected while crews work to complete the repair over the next two weeks. Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area and use University Parkway instead of Floyd Road to access the east side of campus.
