Posted on Sept: 16: Temporary entrance to ease heavy construction traffic

A temporary entrance off Cootes Drive will open next week for construction traffic entering campus.
The entrance is located on the west side of campus near College Crescent, by the Arthur Bourns Building and Zone 3-annex parking.
As part of a City permit to create the temporary entrance, the University is required to establish an exit, which will be used exclusively as a pedestrian walkway. The exit is located at the west end of College Crescent.
Initially, the temporary entrance will be used to ease heavy construction traffic on campus. Eventually, it may be used as an alternate entrance to the university during construction on the front entrance to the university off Main Street. Construction of the new entrance will take place next spring and summer.
