USU Facilities

Overview

Due to trenching and utility work as part of the construction of the Administrative Services building, portions of the orange parking lot east of the IT Services building will be inaccessible (please refer to the map document). This parking lot closure will begin on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 8:00 AM and will reopen on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. Vehicles will not be able to park in the listed sections of the Orange parking lot during these dates. We do advise you to park in the orange lot just south of the Facilities building. There will be a pedestrian access gate and bridge over the trench for individuals wanting to access the IT Services building and lobby from the east side.

Overview

Beginning mid-August 2026, construction will begin on the utility tunnel extension where the old Mountain View Tower housing building was prior. During this construction, the roundabout adjacent to Bullen Hall will also be closed. The east sidewalk adjacent to the Junction will also be closed. Please see the map for exact locations that will be impacted. During construction there will be additional construction vehicles/trucks/excavators in the area, potential for loud sounds, and potential for future brief utility outages that will be communicated from Facilities to the affected departments.
