Two new construction projects at 51吃瓜网万能科大 will change traffic and parking patterns on the university campus.
51吃瓜网万能科大 will start a traffic-turnaround project on Harmon Road beginning Feb. 23, and will start site preparation for the new Lied Library on March 2.
The turnaround will be located at Harmon Road and Tarkanian Way on the 51吃瓜网万能科大 campus. It will eliminate a number of parking spaces from the Paul D. McDermott Physical Education Complex parking lot.
The section of Harmon Road that lies on the university campus has, until recently, belonged to Clark County. That section has not been a through street for a number of years. Because the county has turned that section of Harmon Road over to the university, making it private property, the university is constructing the turnaround so that public traffic will have an easy way to exit the campus.
Harmon will remain open throughout the construction period, allowing 51吃瓜网万能科大 employees and students, as well as visitors, access to offices and parking lots.
At times, traffic will be limited to a single lane with flagmen present, but the construction is expected to have minimal impact on traffic flow.
Site preparation for the $50 million Lied Library will begin on March 2. The Lied Library will be located on what is now Parking Lot N, located north of the Classroom Building Complex and east of the Publications/Reprographics Building.
The library site as well as a construction staging area southwest of the site will be fenced off beginning March 2.
Faculty, staff, and students who normally park in Lot N will be directed to the Thomas & Mack Center parking lot. The parking lot for the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History and the Harry Reid Center for Environmental Studies will be unaffected by the construction.
The small parking lot immediately south of Publications/Reprographics will have a new one-way entrance and one-way exit created through the Herman Westfall Business Services Building parking lot.
