South Campus Field Replacement |
Consistent with the university’s usual approach, there is a summer maintenance project scheduled for South Campus ahead of the fall semester. University staff and contractors will be replacing the turf on the South Campus Field beginning July 14. Work hours are scheduled from 7 A.M. – 3 P.M. on weekdays. Currently, there are no plans for weekend work, and we do not anticipate any significant impact to traffic flow.
Due to the nature of this work, the South Campus Field will be closed from July 14 to August 15, 2025, weather permitting.
