Update: Miller Hall and East College Way emergency repairs ongoing through fall
September 15, 2025
Welcome back! As we approach the fall quarter, we want to bring everyone up to date on the Miller Hall emergency heating repair project. We know this is not the news anyone was hoping to hear, but the project team has continued to encounter significant, unexpected challenges.
Despite the team's best efforts through the spring and summer, we expect that East College Way north of the Steam Plant will need to remain closed throughout the fall quarter, and that Miller Hall will remain without full heat until that time.
Arrangements have been made for large deliveries and waste removal services to buildings normally serviced by East College Way. Delivery drivers with smaller loads should park in loading zones and use hand trucks to transport goods to buildings. If you need help with delivery logistics, please let us know.
Also, be aware of the emergency vehicle access lane that runs between College and Haggard Halls, past Carver and Bond and through Red Square. The lane has been marked with fire lane tape in Red Square, and the entire length of the lane must be kept clear at all times. People may walk in the lane, and approved vehicles may drive through, but no parking or tabling is allowed.
For the duration of the road closure, parking permits for lots 8G and 10G are valid in lots 7G, 17G, 19G, 9G, and 12G. For ADA accommodations, employees should contact Human Resources, and students should contact the Disability Access Center.
As work continues throughout the fall, you should also expect intermittent construction noise from heavy equipment operating in the repair site on East College Way.
We apologize for the ongoing disruptions, and we continue to work diligently to complete repairs and restore the heating system as quickly as possible. Find out more here.
