Facilities Notices

The two main passenger elevators in Academic Building (55) are out of service. Several repair attempts to elevator 1 have failed and now components of elevator 2 have failed. Both elevators have operated beyond their useful life and replacement parts are no longer available. All components of both elevators need to be replaced which will take several months due to lead times on the components as well as the time it takes to perform the replacements. During this time, the small passenger elevator to the left of the main elevators, as well as the freight elevator towards the back of the building, will remain operational. Thank you for your patience during this extended replacement.

Beginning Monday, January 6, 2025, Arch Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from 32nd Street to 33rd Street for the disassembly of the tower crane. Vehicle access to the police lot has been coordinated and pedestrian access on the north side of Arch street will be maintained to access the Intercultural Center, Police Station, and the parking lot entrances to 3201 Arch Street. This closure is expected to remain in effect through Sunday, January 19, 2025. Please follow all signage posted at this location. Thank you.
