PULLMAN – Construction crews are working feverishly to complete a portion of Library Road and the surrounding sidewalks — connecting Terrell Mall to Hello Walk — by the beginning of classes on Aug. 25. The goal is to provide easier access to buildings and the ability to traverse campus quickly.
Overall, the $15 million Phase III Library Road project is said to be “on schedule” for a Sept. 25 completion date.
When completed, Phase III will:
- improve pedestrian traffic and safety
- eliminate regular vehicular traffic, while maintaining service access and ADA parking areas
- develop open space, including Murrow Yard and Terrell Mall, that ties the campus together
- improve transit traffic via a hub at Campus and Thatuna Streets
The Adminstration Annex Building will be demolished, which may allow that site to be used as a landscaped open space and as a future academic building site.
