Stanley Coulter construction prompts traffic changes

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Motorists and pedestrians should be aware of pending traffic changes in the heart of the Purdue University campus as construction of an addition to the rear of Stanley Coulter Hall gets under way.

The revised traffic patterns probably will go into effect Monday (8/25), said Mike Warden, Purdue Facilities Planning architect.

Drives on the north, west and south sides of the Engineering Administration Building and the old Heating and Power Plant-North will close permanently, as will the service drive behind Coulter. Thus, the area between the Purdue Bell Tower and the former police station, and from Centennial Mall to Purdue Mall, will be closed to all but emergency traffic. Service traffic to Wetherill Laboratory of Chemistry and the Engineering Administration Building will be routed from Grant Street.

The Psychological Sciences Building/Peirce Hall service dock will remain open, and the one-way street between the Psychological Sciences Building and the Bell Tower will become a two-way street. The sidewalk between the Class of 1950 Lecture Hall and Stanley Coulter Hall will be closed. A safety fence will be erected around the entire construction area.
