Upcoming Project: East Lot Restoration

Over the past months, portable buildings that were used as interim housing for NOCE classes were placed on the East Parking Lot. The classes were moved to temporary housing during the construction of the Tower First Floor Life Safety Renovation Project. As this project ends, we are committed to transforming the space back into a fully functional, well-maintained parking area. This restoration project is designed to revitalize the space, ensuring it meets the needs of the campus community.
