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
- Beginning Nov. 25, pile driving will occur at the northeast corner of Engineering Hall (across from 1410 Engineering Drive).
- There will be a new accessible ramp/route to the Engineering Research Building. The new route will be adjacent to the ERB loading dock off Engineering Drive. Beginning Nov. 27, crews will install the new ramp. On Dec. 2, crews will close the existing ramp as well as the route that runs from 1410 Engineering Drive through Engineering Mall to the Engineering Research Building. Prior to installation of the new ramp, look for a new map on facilities.engr.wisc.edu that indicates the new ramp/route.
- On Saturday, Nov. 30, there will be a weekend steam shutdown and a domestic water outage for the Engineering Research Building. We have notified affected research groups.
Ongoing
- 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.
