Campus Construction

Elevators:

Building A Passenger Elevator Out of Service - 4/3/2025 - date unknown

The passenger elevator in Building A is currently out of service due to significant repairs. At this time, we do not have an exact timeline for when the work will be completed, but it is expected to take several weeks. The nearest elevators are in Building W and in Building L (near the Building P hallway). The Building L elevator will provide access to Building P and the second floor of Building C.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve the issue.
