Here is information about engineering campus construction activities that may affect you in the coming week.
Important
- Thank you for using designated routes to travel through the engineering campus, obeying posted speed limits, using designated crosswalks to cross streets, refraining from climbing over barriers, and avoiding walking in the roadway. We appreciate your role in keeping everyone safe.
- Keep your eyes up. Be aware of construction (and related) vehicles entering and exiting locations across the engineering campus.
- Please avoid all fenced areas.
- Please avoid construction trailers adjacent to the UW Athletics facilities.
- Accessible parking stalls now are located in Lot 14 adjacent to Engineering Hall.
- Plan ahead, and please be patient and tolerant.
New info: Changes and closures anticipated in the week ahead
- Utility work on Randall Avenue will begin the week of Oct. 14 and will affect the traffic pattern on Randall Avenue. Please be mindful of construction traffic when using this route. Please use extreme caution when navigating the Engineering Drive and North Randall Ave area.
- There is a temporary steam shutdown scheduled for early afternoon on Oct. 11 and the shutdown is expected to last until Oct. 13.
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.
- Through late October, the left turn from Randall Avenue onto Engineering Drive will be closed.
- Refer to the project updates page on the college’s facilities website for all building access points, including accessible routes.
For future planning or awareness
- No new updates.
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.
