The team behind the Campus Center project is making the best of this unprecedented situation, rearranging the construction schedule to tackle the most disruptive work while campus is closed.
The City of Atlanta will shut down Techwood Drive between North Avenue and Bobby Dodd Way between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 10, and Friday, March 11, to repave the roadway and apply temporary striping.
The alternate pathway in place around the Smithgall Student Services building will remain in place as construction continues.
This month, work will begin on the Campus Safety Building, the new home for the Georgia Tech Police Department that will take shape at the corner of Hemphill Avenue and 10th Street.
Work on the Campus Center project continues to progress this summer, and the next four to six weeks will entail some of the most impactful disruptions campus will see during the first phase of construction.
The closing is necessary for crane set-up and electrical vault installation.
Area adjacent to Clough Commons will be repaved
With the work on the stadium side of North Avenue almost complete, Facilities is moving full steam ahead with completing the same upgrades to the other side of the road.
Many construction and maintenance projects were completed during the summer or will wrap up this fall.
When Georgia Tech visitors enter campus, they will soon be greeted with sleek, new sign signs.
