The proposed University Boulevard Lot Stormwater Improvements project (“Project”), located at 282 University Boulevard between the Sigma Phi Epsilon and Pi Kappa Alpha chapter houses, will consist of stormwater improvements to reroute the existing open drainage way and provide a piped drainage way from 4ᵗʰ Street to the northwest corner of 2ⁿᵈ Avenue and University Boulevard.

The existing open drainage way is unsightly, often contains standing water and is difficult to maintain given the steep sloped banks. The piping will be oversized to the extent possible to provide in-pipe detention. The drainage way will also be rerouted to provide room for development on the site.

This stormwater ultimately discharges to the Cribbs Mill Creek Tributary at the railroad tracks south of the School of Law. This work has been, and is, reflected in the Annual Consolidated Capital Projects and Facilities Report.
