The proposed University Boulevard Rose Administration to 6th Avenue Infrastructure Improvements and Storm Drainage Extension project (“Project”) will deliver essential upgrades to the storm drainage system along University Boulevard, a primary connector serving as a vital corridor into the academic core of campus. The Project includes a significant expansion of stormsewer coverage. These enhancements are designed to substantially reduce recurring roadway and sidewalk flooding that has historically impeded vehicular movement, pedestrian access, and overall circulation within this key campus corridor.

The Project will also include the removal of existing concrete paving and the installation of new asphalt, creating a smoother, more durable, and visually cohesive roadway consistent with previous phases of University Boulevard improvements. Additionally, new, wider sidewalks will be constructed on the southern side of University Boulevard, improving pedestrian comfort, accessibility, and safety along this heavily traveled route. This project will include exterior security enhancements to the north side of the yard and the entrance to the President’s Mansion.

Enhanced landscaping and hardscaping elements will further improve the aesthetics and functionality of this gateway, supporting the daily movement of students, faculty, staff, and visitors throughout the University’s central academic areas.
