Dear Students:

We are excited to have you back on campus! We want to make you aware of the projects taking place on campus.

Access to Lefavour Hall and the Center for Student Success (CSS)

We wanted to provide some advance notice of how to access Lefavour Hall and the CSS as construction continues. There will be signage posted starting by the entrance to Park Science, and you can view the map and follow the step-by-step instructions on following the detour path to Lefavour Hall.

1. The path leads out from the Academic Quad past the Science Building
2. Down the marked walking path detour to the sidewalk
3. Cross Avenue Louis Pasteur at the crosswalk
4. The path then continues down the sidewalk on the opposite side of Avenue Louis Pasteur, up to the crosswalk across from the Lefavour Hall entrance
5. Cross Avenue Louis Pasteur again at the crosswalk, which will lead you into the first floor classrooms located in Lefavour Hall, as well as the CSS

Next Week: Elevator Inspections

We will be performing annual state-mandated elevator inspections on all buildings on the Simmons Academic and Residence campuses in the first week of September. Elevator inspections lasts for a few hours and is performed one elevator at a time, so all buildings on the Academic Campus (with the exception of One Palace Road) should always have one working elevator.

View the full schedule of elevator inspections Testing for the elevator in One Palace Road is scheduled between 7am to 12pm on Friday, August 27. Contact Facilities (617-521-2525) with construction or campus access questions.

Finishing Construction in the MCB

As the Main College Building renovations wrap up, there might be some intermittent finishing work (sanding, painting, wallpapering, etc.) that continues through early October. The disruption should be minimal, and none of this work should affect access to or functionality of any areas of the MCB. If any work does cause such an impact, advance notice will be sent out and signage will be posted.
