Avoid Stauffer-Flint construction areas during the fall semester
|
You will notice plenty of construction happening in and around Stauffer-Flint this fall, and we want to make sure you are informed and safe while the J-School undergoes this amazing transformation, which will be completed by the end of the fall semester.
Here are some important things you need to know:
- There are no classes in Stauffer-Flint this fall.
- Most of the building is off-limits to students and visitors, but students may still may access Student Services, the Career and Outreach Office, the JBar and the Resource Center through the doors on the west side of the building (near Wescoe). Please make an appointment to visit to the Bremner Editing Center.
- The main entrance is closed and off-limits.
- Crews are still working on replacing the elevator, but it is not functional at this time.
- Use of the first floor is restricted to the Student Services office, the Career and Outreach Center, the JBar and the restrooms.
- Use of the second floor is restricted to the Resource Center, the restrooms and the dean’s office.
- On the exterior, only authorized construction personnel are allowed inside the fenced area.
Go to the
J-School website
to learn more about the renovation, and watch the construction as it happens via our
livestream cam
set up on the first floor.
