Student Services Center Construction HAS BEGUN!
Construction of the Student Services Center began at 6 am Thursday, April 26. The construction will significantly impact pedestrian and bus access to the east buildings of campus. The circle drive, B1 parking lot, nearby walkways and entrances to A wing, B1, B2, L1, L2, X1, X6 and X9 will be closed.
The bus stop will move from Parkland’s circle drive to the D-wing entrance. Car and shuttle drivers who drop off passengers on campus are asked to use alternate drop-off sites outside the C-wing entrance in the C4 parking lot, and outside the M-wing in the M1 lot.
For persons with disabilities mechanical doors are available at C, D, M and X wing entrances.
