Arrival of Modular Building Units, Oct. 10, 12 & 15

Body

10/9/12

In preparation for construction of the new Worcester State University Wellness Center in 2015, modular building units will be delivered to the campus on the following days:

Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Friday, October 12
Monday October 15

On each of these days, approximately 30 spaces will be taken off-line in the WSU parking lot near the South Entrance to the campus. University Police will mark the spaces the evening prior to the modular unit deliveries. Any cars parked in the off-line spaces will be towed in order to facilitate the deliveries. In addition, access to the South Entrance (May Street entrance) will be limited briefly during the deliveries. University Police and City of Worcester Police will facilitate traffic direction during that time. See the attached map indicating the delivery truck route. This route was selected to minimize the impact on parking and traffic as much as possible.

The new 100,000-square-foot Wellness Center will replace the existing gym building and feature athletic space, instructional space, studio space, and community space. Our student-athletes and the general student population will benefit greatly from this new facility. Not only will it support our educational programs, athletic programs and student fitness, it will be a terrific community resource. The current gymnasium was built in 1958 and was meant to serve just 400 students. Worcester State’s current enrollment is more than 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students. We understand that the construction period will present a temporary inconvenience, but will result in a much-improved campus experience for all. The patience and understanding of our students faculty and staff is much appreciated and we will provide construction and parking updates to the University community as soon as information becomes available.
