Construction activities for Phase 1 of the Sanford Stadium South Side Improvements will begin on November 28, 2022 and continue through August 2023.

A portion of sidewalk will be closed on the east side of Sanford Drive between Field Street and Hooper Street. A temporary crosswalk will be added for crossing at Sanford Drive in line with the east Tate Student Center pedestrian bridge.

Pedestrian pathways will be maintained along the south side of Field Street but will be altered. Additional signage will be provided to provide pedestrian detour routes. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic at Sanford Drive may be temporarily held up due to material lifting by the tower crane. These infrequent delays will occur intermittently during class periods and are estimated to be less than 5 minutes per instance. Expect more frequent delays between 5am – 7am when the majority of material lifts are scheduled to occur.

The surface parking lot south of the Tate Student Center will be closed for construction activities as shown in the maps linked below. Pedestrian access will be maintained on the north side of the lot adjacent to the Tate Student Center.

Update: Gillis Bridge at Sanford Drive will be closed to vehicular traffic from June 30 through July 8. Pedestrian traffic will still be able to utilize the sidewalk on the west side of the bridge. The bridge will reopen on Saturday, July 8. Bus routes will be adjusted to accommodate this closure.
