Starting Friday morning April 27, it will be like the summer of 2017 as walkers again take detours to get around the Schmon Tower construction. It’s back.
Starting first thing Friday April 27, anyone taking an indoor route between the east and west sides of campus will have a longer walk when they reach Schmon Tower.
Mug’s game: University Librarian Mark Robertson has a final stroll through the temporary hallway, hours before it was closed for demolition.
And people using elevators to get to the administrative floors of the Tower will again need to first head for the basement.
As construction of the sprawling new atrium complex in front of the Tower moves into its final major phase, pedestrians will recognize the familiar pattern of last summer, when work on the project had just begun.
Ground-level walkers will see detour signs diverting them through the Thistle corridor that loops around behind the Tower.
People headed to administrative offices on the 3rd, 4th, 11th, 12th and 13th floors of the Tower will be directed to reach the elevators by going down to the basement level and traversing through the Guernsey Market area.
Elevators to the library floors in the Tower (5th through 10th) are still accessed via the Matheson Learning Commons.
The construction is scheduled for completion this summer.
