Main Entrance Sidewalk to Temporarily Close ~The sidewalk that leads to the main entrance will be closed most of the month to complete construction of a new sidewalk paving and roof waterproofing.
Closure will begin Wednesday, August 1 with a Monday, August 27 scheduled reopening. 
Please note the main entrance pedestrian re-route (in red) in the map.
The main area affected will be the main entry sidewalk on the north side of the new entry driveway. Pedestrian access from parking lot B to the main entrance will be rerouted to the east side of the main perimeter drive, south past the entrance to the Radiation Oncology building and then west across the main perimeter drive to the new entry sidewalk on the south side of the new entry drive.
For their personal safety, pedestrians will be asked to use the newly installed crosswalks and existing sidewalks and refrain from walking in the roadway.
Among related details:
- Access to the stairs leading to the second floor (Birth Center door) will remain open during this time.
- The U.S. mailbox and newspaper stands will be relocated to the new sidewalk south of the new entry drive.
- South access to the cafeteria and outdoor seating area from the main entry sidewalk will also be closed.
- Visitor and patient use of the free valet parking service is highly encouraged during this detour period.
Thank you for your patience!
