Starting Monday, April 22, all sidewalk and pathway access north of the Main Library along Armory Avenue between 6th St and Wright St will be closed to all pedestrian traffic due to continuing MCORE Project 4 construction.

The site adjustment will remove Americans with Disabilities (ADA) route access to Library Room 66 from along Armory Ave. Accessible entry to the facility will remain available from ramps on the west side of the facility along the Main Quad. Reroutes along Chalmers Street and Gregory Drive are strongly recommended to avoid the work area. A map is available here.

The full project corridor for MCORE Project 4 includes Armory Avenue (between Fourth Street and Wright Street) and Wright Street (between Armory Avenue and Springfield Avenue). Periodic construction updates will be posted on the Facilities & Services website.

The work will occur in phases with the majority of construction south of Green Street scheduled this summer. Expected completion for the entire project is December 2020.
