Temporary Restroom Closures: Campus Center and Others

Please Use Lower Level Restrooms

L5, S2 and S6 Buildings

Workers are renovating restrooms in the L5, S2 and S6 buildings this fall. Those restrooms will be unavailable through April 2026. Signs will be posted to provide directions to other available restrooms.

  • There may be loud noise resulting from interior concrete demolition in L5, S2 and S6 through tomorrow – Tuesday, Sept. 23.
  • Parking Lot F, which is normally reserved for college employees, will be closed through February 2026 so it can be used as a staging area for the restroom project and other work.
