***UC Garage Demolition Begins this Weekend!!!***
The IMPORTANT INFORMATION BELOW is intended for those who work in or
near the UC during spring break, and for students or guests who may be
visiting the UC during spring break. Encourage friends and co-workers to join
the listserv to receive similar messages in the future.
As we begin the demolition of the UC parking garage this weekend, we wanted
to take some time to make sure you have all the information needed to make
Monday’s (March 19) return to work go as smoothly as possible. Please take
note of the following events that will begin in and around the UC this
weekend.
•The Shiloh entrance to the UC (from the Back Plaza) closes permanently
today by 3pm.
•The garage entrance to the UC (from the parking garage) becomes
inaccessible while emergency egress corridors are constructed. Once the
corridors are completed, this exit remains EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY throughout
Phase 1 of the construction, as does the exit from the Hermitage Room and
Shiloh Room.
•All pedestrian bridges to/from the Back Plaza will be removed, with the
exception of the bridge nearest Staff Lot 9 that connects Haslam Business
Building to the back side of the Hill.
•Andy Holt Avenue between Phillip Fulmer Way and Volunteer Boulevard closes
PERMANENTLY to vehicular traffic, but one sidewalk remains open to
pedestrian traffic.
•The north side of Staff Lot 9 (closest to the UC) closes permanently.
•The only vehicular access to Staff Lot 9 will be from Peyton Manning Pass.
•Phillip Fulmer Way between Cumberland Avenue and Andy Holt Avenue is
completely closed to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic beginning Sunday,
March 18 through Tuesday, March 20.
What does this mean to you?
•If you typically turn onto Phillip Fulmer Way from Cumberland Avenue to come
to work, or if you typically access Lot 9 from Andy Holt Avenue, you won’t be
able to take either route, so plan for a few extra minutes to get around to the
entrance off Peyton Manning Pass.
•When walking between Lot 9 and the UC on Monday and Tuesday, the
suggested route is to use the Cumberland Avenue entrance, accessible by
walking along Andy Holt Avenue, Volunteer Boulevard, and through “the pit”
(the small Staff Lot 12 beside Temple Court).
•The first floor entrance from Phillip Fulmer (the three glass doors beside the
round UT Book Store sign) will be inaccessible March 18-20.
•UC guest parking will be established in the Volunteer Hall Garage. Enter on
the White Avenue side. Rates are expected to be the same as those in the UC
garage.
•Those needing handicapped parking are encouraged to use the Volunteer Hall
garage rather than Staff Lot 9. Come down James Agee to the UC rather than
16th street to avoid possible complications with construction on the corner of
Volunteer Boulevard and Cumberland Avenue.

Thanks and have a great weekend!
