Permanent Sidewalk, Hallway and Building Closures

Updated July 11, 2025

Permanent sidewalk, hallway and building closures may significantly change the way you get around the medical center. The closures are part of the north phase of the Medical Center Addition and Alterations (MCAA) project. 

Key Details:

  • The construction fence along Brown Drive will close the area between the new Roosevelt Pavilion (Building 39) and North Garage (Building 63, formerly known as the America Garage).
  • North and Liberty Garages (Buildings 63 and 54) will remain open for use.
  • Access to North Garage from Brown Drive is entry-only.
  • The North Garage exit on Brown Drive has been converted to an ADA-compliant pedestrian pathway to allow continued access from Brown Drive to Buildings 3, 5, and 19.
  • Twelve handicap parking spaces will be relocated within North Garage to ensure continued accessibility.
  • Buildings 2 and 7 are scheduled for demolition to clear space for the project.
