Traffic, Pedestrian Patterns Could Be Altered Due to Summer Construction Projects

06/18/2013

Below are Google Earth images that indicate areas on the JSU campus (highlighted red polygons) that have scheduled construction commencing as soon as Monday, June 24.  All projects on this list are scheduled to be completed by the fall semester except for project number 6, the Hammond Hall restroom addition, which could take longer. Please be aware that traffic and pedestrian patterns will be altered during construction. 

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation while these projects are underway.

Projects
