The razing of Strawn and Carson Cottages allows for improvements to the east side of campus, including additional parking and lighting and safer pedestrian walkways. 

The project is expected to be concluded by the first week of the semester.

• Fencing has been installed, materials delivered and utilities located.
• TPermits have been received; Triangle has set up the mandatory Pre-Construction meeting with the City for Thursday June 11.

April 30 Updates

• Fencing will be installed around the gravel lot and the Chapel lot sometime in the next two weeks to ensure the site is ready for construction to begin on May 19. Both lots will still be available for parking.
