Clemson University Announces Start of Campus Construction Projects Impacting Local Traffic and Accessibility

Starting the week of May 13, Clemson University will begin multiple construction projects on its main campus, expected to last until the summer of 2024. These will include new constructions and the continuation of existing projects. The university has noted that these activities will impact parking, transportation, and accessibility in the area.

Key projects include roof replacements at Fike Recreation Center and Hendrix Student Center starting this summer. Cribb Hall, Hunter Hall, and several high-rise buildings around Bryan Mall, such as Byrnes Hall and Manning Hall, will also undergo significant renovations. These efforts are aimed at updating and maintaining the campus facilities.

Road construction is another major focus. Perimeter Road will have fencing installation, resulting in an eastbound single lane closure from May 13 to August 1. Kappa Street and Cherry Road will experience repaving and traffic disruptions, with specific closures and detours planned. New traffic signals will be installed on Old Stadium Road in late June.

Additional projects include a campus-wide steam outage from May 12 to 15, repairs to Mell Hall Plaza, and expansions of the R-4 and Kite Hill/R-1 parking lots. These projects are planned to continue into the fall of 2024 to enhance campus infrastructure.
