Due to the extension of the new water line along Nevada Street, the final connection for the line is in the intersection of Washington and Nevada Streets, forcing a closure of that intersection. The closure is scheduled to begin on Friday, March 10th, at 7 AM and continue through Sunday, March 12th, to 5 PM.
Washington Building staff and students will need to access their parking lot from the West side. Physicians parking lots on the East side will still be accessible.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work towards opening up the new Mall/Nevada Street connection to College Avenue.
