Engineering construction update: Dec. 5, 2024

Here is information about engineering campus construction activities that may affect you in the coming week.

Important

  • Please continue to use designated routes to travel through the engineering campus, obey posted speed limits, use designated crosswalks to cross streets, refrain from climbing over barriers, and avoid walking in the roadway. Please be patient and tolerant. We appreciate your role in keeping everyone safe.
  • Plan ahead and keep your eyes up. Be aware of construction (and related) vehicles entering and exiting locations across the engineering campus. Please avoid all fenced areas as well as construction trailers adjacent to the UW Athletics facilities.

New info: Changes and closures anticipated in the week ahead

  • Near the Engineering Drive atrium entrance of the Engineering Centers Building, crews will be working. Please avoid fenced areas and be mindful of construction vehicles.

Ongoing

  • Pile driving and concrete removal will continue for approximately three weeks at the northeast corner of Engineering Hall (across from 1410 Engineering Drive).
  • Semi deliveries can no longer be accepted at College of Engineering loading docks. These deliveries must be routed to MDS in Verona for delivery to the college.
  • Until further notice, the left turn from Randall Avenue onto Engineering Drive will be closed.

For future planning or awareness

  • No future activities to share at this time.

Please be careful and aware: Whether you are on foot, bike, scooter, moped, in a vehicle, or otherwise, be alert and know what’s happening around you. If you see an immediate safety concern, please reach out to Pete Nemmetz, our assistant dean for facilities, right away, at pnemmetz@wisc.edu.

As always, many factors, including weather and other unknowns, may impact construction activities. If our contractors need to make unanticipated changes, I ask that you respect their instructions, and be patient with them and others.

Once again, our goal is to keep you informed about what’s happening for your safety and route-planning purposes.
