Syracuse University will close a sidewalk between Archbold Gymnasium and the Carrier Dome as part of the university’s renovation of the gym.

Pete Sala, the university’s vice president and chief facilities officer, detailed the sidewalk closure and other construction updates in a campus-wide on Tuesday.

Here’s the list of projects Sala detailed in the email:

The Arch: A $50 million renovation project to transform the gym into a 7,000 square-foot fitness and wellness center involves the demolition of parts of the building’s interior and exterior. In addition to the sidewalk closure, Sims Drive between Archbold and the Flanagan Gymnasium will close from May 14 to August 20.

Campus utility work: A project involving utility lines running beneath a lawn near the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is scheduled to be completed before commencement on May 13. Utility upgrades in the Quad 1 parking lot, on the south side of Eggers Hall, will stop for commencement and resume in the summer.

National Veterans Resource Center: Construction work is underway for the university’s $62.5 million project to centralize campus veteran programs in a hub at the intersection of South Crouse and Waverly Avenues. The building is set to open in spring 2020.

Crouse College: Work to restore the building’s exterior masonry has resumed. The project was halted this winter.
