Announcements
Keystone Hall Access
Keystone Hall is currently under renovation. Over the last week, the DGS contractors have had to ask people to leave the building. This is a significant safety concern, as only authorized contractors should be in the building since it is a hard-hat-only work site. Facilities will place more signs around the perimeter, especially near the access gate, to ensure the campus community is aware of the accessible areas. These areas are sport management, the football locker room and O'Pake Fieldhouse. Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this project.
William Meeker, Facilities
