Please Note; if you regularly access, or plan to access any building or parking (especially handicap) area located near or past construction areas on campus, please allow extra time on your commute to locate alternate parking or access route should your route or lot be blocked by construction or transient construction vehicles. Also, check the daily VT Campus Notices and this website's as well as our Access Maps sections before venturing onto campus. These may help ease your travel on all our grounds. Please use our Access Maps to plan your alternate routes beforehand.
We have a lot of construction on campus this year and apologize for any inconvenience that it may cause our VT community and visitors.

The construction of the College Avenue Promenade is currently on Phase II, working closer to Main Street. Please be advised that accessible routes change often in this area and are often not safe.
Parking meters are scheduled to be installed by Squires the week of January 20th, 2013
Crews are working on the water lines and this will require College Avenue to be closed at the intersection with Main Street on the following days:
Due to the weather, the closure and water shut off originally scheduled for the 22nd will happen Wednesday, January 23rd.
On Wednesday, January 23 at midnight until 5 pm, College Avenue will be closed from Main Street to Draper Road for storm drain work. Water will be turned off from Wednesday at midnight until 10 am on College Avenue between Main Street and Draper Road.
This is the last planned closure and water interruption of College Avenue for this phase.
In a few weeks, street furniture and trash cans will be placed in the finished part of the promenade.
