UPDATE 3/21/2021: Work required to reopen Center Road will not be complete until mid-afternoon Monday 3/22/2021. Center Road will remain two way until that time. We appreciate your understanding as we implement these improvements to the UMBC campus.

As construction of the Health Services & Counseling Building continues, underground utility work will require a temporary closure of Center Road just south of the Erickson Hall. The closure will occur over spring break, 3/13/2021 – 3/21/2021. Center Road north of that point will become two way traffic during daytime work hours with the Erickson drop-off acting as the turnaround for the two-way section of the road. Steel plates will cover the excavation and Center Road will be opened during off-hours. Access to the Y Preschool, Hillside apartments and UHS will be maintained at all times and signage will be posted to help direct vehicles. Please refer to the diagram depicting the campus impacts described above.

Visit the Facilities Management website for additional information about this and other University projects.

Accessibility is part of the design process, and we work in partnership with Accessibility and Disability Services which supports faculty, staff, students and visitors with disabilities. If you have a concern about accessibility, or want to inquire about a disability-based accommodation, please do so through their website.

Thank you for your patience as we work to maintain and enhance the UMBC campus.

Facilities Management is pleased to announce that on-site construction activities for the Health Services & Counseling Building will commence on January 4th, 2021. Construction fencing will be constructed between Center Road, Chesapeake and Susquehanna Halls. Shortly thereafter, the Student Development & Success Center will be demolished to make way for the new building, which will house University Health Services, Counseling Center, Student Conduct & Community Standards and facilities for Spirituality & Meditation. The construction will have minor impacts on pedestrian routes including the sidewalk between Center Road and True Grit's. Signage directing pedestrians to nearby accessible routes will be provided. Some parking along Center Road and Lot 11 will also be impacted. Vehicular routes will not be impacted as Center Road will remain open for the duration of construction. Construction activities will continue through summer 2021 with the Health Services & Counseling Building scheduled to open prior to the fall 2021 semester. Any changes or additional information will be communicated through the myUMBC Facility Management Group and other appropriate methods.

The contractor working on the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building will be performing work outside of the construction fence between the new ILSB and the Physics Building between 12/26/2018 and about 1/14/1019. This work will require closure of vehicular access to the Commons loading dock and relocation of pedestrian paths through the area.

Deliveries to the Commons building should be made at the corner of Center Rd and Poplar Avenue. Signs will be placed directing vehicles to this location. Pedestrians should follow signs to access relocated walkways. Accessible routes will be provided between all buildings in the area. Existing accessible parking most convenient to the Commons building during this time continues to be in the Commons Garage, along Center Road near Susquehanna Hall and in lots 2 & 4.

In addition, the contractor will be accessing manholes near the PAHB, ITE and Engineering buildings between 1/3/2019 and 1/5/2019. Minor adjustments to pedestrian routes will be necessary but accessible routes will be maintained through the area.
