A Note about CAMPUS CONSTRUCTION

There are a number of ongoing construction projects on campus that are part of a large-scale campus renewal program designed to help modernize our facilities, fulfill our commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2035, and ensure that our buildings and infrastructure effectively support our exceptional liberal arts educational experience. Visit our campus construction highlights site to learn more about key projects.

Given this work, campus looks quite different than it usually does. If you haven’t been on campus recently, it may feel disconcerting to see the active construction zones, and it may take a little time to get used to the various pathway closures, temporary fences, and other inconveniences.

There is robust signage across campus to help you find your way, but we encourage you to use the College’s online campus map for an overview of current construction areas as well as accessible paths through campus before you arrive.
