Farm Drive from Valley Drive to Lot Q will be closed from May 22nd through July 16th to allow for restoration of the sitework in front of the Cambridge Community. Access to the CSS Wing 4 loading dock will be restricted from May 22nd until June 25th, all deliveries during this timeframe should be to the CSS Wing 3 loading dock. Additionally the sidewalks along Farm Drive and in front of Cambridge Hall will be closed with marked pedestrian detours in place around the east and west side of the site.
During the Farm Drive closures, a detour through Lot Q will be provided. This detour will reduce the number of parking spaces in Lot Q, therefore those assigned to Lot Q may park in Lot B throughout the summer months.

Start-up Testing of the Physical Sciences generator will occur over spring break, March 18th-20th. Testing will occur from 7am-7pm all three days. Activity around the CSS Wing 3 loading dock and noise from the generator will impact the immediate area.
The generator has a sound attenuation housing to minimize the noise during normal conditions, however during the startup and testing phase access to the generator will require many of the access doors to be open allowing higher than normal sound impacts in the immediate area.

The concrete cutting is required to make the final connections of the PSC building to the CSS building.
