FAQ: Phase one construction on future patient care tower

We will communicate clearly in advance when these projects are expected to impact patients, visitors, and staff. For the most part, these entrances will stay largely accessible during construction. The only exception is the JPP South Entrance, which is slated to close from August 2025 to spring 2026. It will then reopen as the new main entrance when we close our current main entrance in spring 2026.

Other noticeable changes will occur in fall 2025, when Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Center is taken down, and in early 2026 when Parking Ramp 1 and the water tower are removed.

We fully recognize that parking on campus is already constrained. When Parking Ramp 1 is taken down it will become even more important that we reserve the ramps for patients and visitors.

We know changes to commutes and parking can be difficult. We appreciate your support as we move forward on these projects that will make our campus better for patients, visitors, faculty, staff, and students.
