UNIVERSITY CENTER CIRCLE CLOSURE EXTENDED UNTIL AUG. 21
Houston, Aug. 2, 2013 – The closure of the University Center circle has been extended until Aug.
21.
The closure includes the drop-off loop (see area B in map below), island and sidewalks leading
up to the existing main entrance on both sides of the circle.
Additionally, a 60-foot-square area (area A in map) at the southwest corner of the UC will
continue to be enclosed for construction activities. Please refer to the map for affected areas.
Throughout the closure, access to UC activities and services from University Drive will be
available via protected walkways connected to the southwest ramp, as indicated in the map.
When the work is completed, access to the UC will be through a new protected south entrance
and the southwest ramp will be closed to allow other construction activity to continue in that area.
