Carver construction: Pipe replacement will displace pedestrian traffic

Discovery of a crushed storm pipe necessitates additional excavation work on the storm sewer system at the southeast corner of the Carver Academic Facility.

Work will begin on Thursday, Nov. 5, and will continue until Nov. 13. A trench between 12 and 14 feet deep will be excavated to accommodate installation of a new storm pipe. The construction fencing will be extended beyond its current location, and pedestrian traffic will be rerouted via a temporary gravel path. The accompanying map explains the change.

ADA access to and from the Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education (SMATE) building is at the east entry to SMATE. This entry is reached from the walkway on the north side of Chemistry. An elevator accesses all floors of SMATE.
