Approximately half of Lot 41, the lot near Woolsey Hall, will be closed Wednesday, July 29 for an event in the building. Faculty and staff that typically park in this lot will need to park in other yellow lots during this time. The YMCA lot is not available for faculty, staff or event guest parking and could result in a citation.

The purpose of lot reservations is to help accommodate large groups of guests visiting campus for events or the event itself. Lot reservations are not to be used for WSU affiliates. Remember, visitors to campus can park without an ePermit up to three times each semester.

Red reserved and ADA stalls are not subject to lot closures and proper use is permitted during this time.

Ahlberg Hall will be closed July 27-31 due to electrical switchgear upgrades. Faculty, staff and students will not have access to the building during this time. Power is anticipated to be restored by end of day Friday, July 31, and normal operations are expected to resume Monday, Aug. 3.

During the closure, the Health Professions Advising Office will temporarily operate from 107 Heskett Center. All other faculty and staff will be working remotely and will not be available for in-person assistance. Contact offices by phone or email during this period.

Contact Facilities Services at 316-978-3444 with any questions regarding this work.

Starting Aug. 17, the Heskett Center pool will be temporarily closed for approximately four weeks to allow for scheduled maintenance and a comprehensive assessment of the facility. This proactive work is intended to ensure the pool remains safe, reliable and well-maintained for all users.

Depending on the nature and extent of repairs identified during the assessment, the pool could be unavailable for a longer period, especially if major repairs are necessary. In that case, university administration will determine whether major repairs are budgetarily feasible. We will keep campus informed throughout the process.

Heskett Center pool staff are working to inform regular users of the pool. Students who qualify for a YMCA membership are able to use pool facilities at all YMCAs in the Wichita area. For updates on this project, please check out the Heskett Pool website at wichita.edu/heskett.

The Student Athlete Center will be closed Wednesday, July 22 while a transformer is changed out, temporarily cutting power to the building. It will reopen the following day to normal business activities.
