FAQs
Q: What email can I reach out to with questions?
Q: How often will we send out emails with updates?
A: Biweekly
Q: Can you tell us more about the trees being removed?
A: The process for removing the trees goes through the campus arborist and the landscape architect to seek permission. This site has been part of the campus’ Long Range Development Plan for new housing, so the trees initially planted were designed to be removed when needed. New trees will be planted as part of the final project. The wood is being mulched and repurposed for landscaping.
Q: Can I get a room transfer?
A: Room/apartment transfers are very limited and may not be available. To see about your options, speak with your Resident Director. We also hope to continue providing alternative locations for study.

A: As with most projects, the scope of it has expanded now that we’re in full swing.

We are working hard to get everyone alternative bike parking locations and will update everyone with a solution in the next email.
