Work has begun on a project to redesign the layout of Lander University's main entrance. A new access road is under construction leading from the intersection of Crews and Willson streets, circling around past the Carnell Learning Center, Abney Cultural Center, Chandler PEES Building and Horne Arena, and reconnecting with Willson Street near the arena driveway.
The project will have an impact on pedestrian and vehicle traffic near the construction site. Students, faculty, staff and visitors are encouraged to be patient and to use caution when traveling in that area.
For reference, a printable Campus Construction Detour Map, detailing the construction zone and alternate pathways, can be found here.
The work site is fenced off and other significant changes include:
The Visitor's Parking Lot (next to Carnell Learning Center) is closed; visitor parking is now located in the lot on the left side of Lander's main entrance boulevard, near Willson Street. Campus visitors may also obtain a visitor parking pass from the Lander University Police Department permitting parking in other lots on campus. The police department is located in Genesis Hall; visitors should take Willson Street toward Chipley Hall, then make a right turn at the access road just before entering the Chipley Hall parking area.
Please refer to the Campus Construction Detour Map for more details. Important construction updates and additional information will be posted to the Lander website and on campus announcement TV screens.
