The covered walkway installation began on Monday, August 25, with the initial phase starting on Broad Street. The work on Broad Street is in the final stages of being completed, with the top of the covered walkway being installed and the netting for the street-side covering to be completed early next week.
The installation of the covered walkway on Washington Blvd. will start today, Wednesday, August 27. As a result of the work beginning today, there will be two temporary detours to enter the campus building:
(1) the Washington Blvd. sidewalk going north starting at the corner of Broad Street will be closed from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and thus all pedestrians who cross at the intersection of Washington and Broad will be directed to walk east on Broad Street, under the covered walkway that has been installed, and be directed to enter through the Franklin Street campus entrance; and
(2) the regular entrance door on Washington Blvd. will be closed on a temporary basis from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day, as the work crew installs the covered walkway. An alternate entrance door, which is located about 25 feet north of the regular Washington Blvd entrance, will be available for entering and exiting the campus building, beginning at 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. The workday ends at 3:00 p.m. for the construction crew, and so the regular Washington Blvd. entrance will be re-opened each day at 3:00 p.m. and will close at 10:30 p.m.
We encourage you to use caution in walking and driving near the Trump Parc site. If you walk to and from the Stamford Train Station, please use the pathway that begins on Washington Blvd. at the entrance of the Summer Street garage, which then will allow you to walk through the Target parking garage, that leads you to the Franklin Street entrance of the campus. In addition, we recommend for those persons who park in the UConn Stamford garage to use the crosswalk and signal that is located at the entrance of the parking garage. In taking this step, you may enter the campus building on the Washington Blvd entrance, near the lightspine section of the building, and bypass entering the campus from the Broad Street entrance.
Effective today, August 4, the UConn Stamford Campus will initiate a new safety precaution. The entrance door located closest to the corner of Washington and Broad Streets will be locked, and there will be no entry to the campus at that entrance.
The purpose of this action is to minimize the potential danger of falling debris from the Trump Parc construction project harming UConn Stamford faculty, staff and students, as that entrance door is directly across the street from the Trump Parc construction project and near the location where the July 23 incident occurred.
The entrance door will remain locked until further notice. The closure of the door will also restrict exiting from the building at that location of the campus. The alternate entrances to the campus include the Broad Street door (located across from Target), the Franklin Street door, and the Washington Blvd door. The latter two entrances offer access to disabled persons.
Zero Tolerance is pleased to announce the third annual student production of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues.”
The performances are on April 10th and April 11th at 7:00 pm in the General Re Auditorium, A1.
Tickets are by suggested donation, $5 for students and $15 for non-students.
