UM Housing - Construction - University Construction

There are always a number of significant University construction projects going on around campus, some of which are being built near or adjacent to residence halls or the Northwood apartments. Sometimes these projects can cause a disruption or result in some inconvenience to the daily routine of residence hall and Northwood Community residents. University Housing staff provide residents affected by nearby construction with regular updates about scheduled work that may involve noise or other disruptions. Use the information provided here to learn about construction projects taking place near a University Housing facility:

Pedestrian Safety
What students should do to maximize their safety and diminish the prospects of an accident:
- Please use the posted crosswalks, follow the signed pathways, and stay out of fenced construction sites.
- Never—day or night—walk in the street along construction fencing.
- Pedestrians have the right-of-way once they’ve entered a crosswalk, but should always pay attention to oncoming traffic.
- Pedestrians and bicyclists often share the sidewalk in construction zones where streets are narrowed or obstructed.
- Pay attention to surroundings, especially when talking on a cell phone or wearing earphones.
- Use the pedestrian bridge across Washtenaw connecting the Life Sciences complex with Couzens and Palmer Field, as well as the pedestrian bridge by CCRB.
- Report unsafe conditions (street lights out; signage vandalized; etc.) to DPS at 3-1131.
