Music Performance Hall Site Work Begins

Construction of the new music performance hall will start in March. (Read more about the project.)

Some site work needs to take place over the break to minimize disruptions for the campus. We will do our best to minimize these as we move forward with the construction. Here is a summary of how the construction may impact campus:
  • As of December 19, 2016, parking lot B will be permanently closed. People using this lot are asked to park in the larger Lot A. (Lot B will not reappear after construction is completed.)
  • Between December 19 and December 30, utilities will be brought from the current Arts Center to the new hall and scrub tree (black locusts) removal will take place. 
    • A construction fence will be erected at the north end of Lot A. This will limit some parking during this time period. 
    • Access to the Arts Center lobby will still be available via the sidewalk.  
    • Wilmot Hall should be accessed through the Arts Center lobby.
    • RTS service at the Arts Center will be rerouted.
  • After December 30, until spring 2018: The construction fence will be relocated to a small area of Lot A near the Casa Italiana. A small number of parking spaces will be effected by this construction area. 
This will be an exciting project for Nazareth College. I will provide updates as construction continues.
