Green Hall Elevator modernization and improvement project

March 16, 2023

On Monday, June 5 a project to replace the existing elevator at Green Hall will commence. The work will continue through the end of the calendar year. The project is to replace the existing elevator with a new elevator that will provide direct elevator access at street level from the east building entrance and access to all floors within the building (newly extending access to the 5th floor).

Building occupants and visitors can expect the following:

  • ADA access to the building will be via the Social Science courtyard (west) entrance and by using the elevators in Foster (3rd floor) and Pick (floors 2, 3, and 4) to selected floors.  
  • At times throughout the project, the east building entrance at University Avenue will not be available.
  • Noise will be associated with this project.
  • Workers will be on site from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
  • A debris dumpster will be placed on University Avenue (near Pick Hall) throughout the project.
  • Signage will be in place throughout the building to inform occupants and visitors.
  • During Elevator Closure: 

    FOR ACCESS TO THE BASEMENT OR 1ST FLOOR PLEASE USE THE STAIRS OR THE LIFT AT THE WEST ENTRANCE. 
    FOR ACCESS TO FLOORS 2,3, AND 4 PLEASE USE STAIRS OR THE ELEVATOR IN PICK HALL.
