Hillsborough Street Roundabout Project

Construction work on Pullen Road approaching Hillsborough Street may require temporary detours around the Belltower along Watauga Club Drive. Construction crews are working on the following::

• installlation of the duct bank for underground utilities on the south side of Hillsborough Street between Gardner and Pogue Streets and between Pullen Road and Enterprise Street
• installation of water lines, sewer lines, and the utility duct bank on the south side of Hillsborough Street starting at Tompkins Hall and heading west
• installation of water line on the south side of Hillsborough Street starting at Oberlin Road and heading west towards Enterprise Street and Tompkins Hall
• installation of storm drains for the parking lot adjacent to the Hillsborough/Pullen intersection
• construction of new curbs on east side of existing Pullen Road
• construction of the brick walls at the Hillsborough entrance to Pullen Park and near Wardlaw Building
• grading and preparation of various sites for future construction activities

Hillsborough Street will remain open throughout the project, which has an estimated completion date of September 2010. Although Hillsborough Street will remain open, you may want to explore alternate routes. Wolfline buses will continue to service Hillsborough Street, but may encounter detours and delays during utility work.

For more information visit http://www.hillsboroughstreet.org/ or http://www.raleigh-nc.org (search Hillsborough Roundabout). This is a city of Raleigh project; NC State's construction liaison is Cameron Smith, cameron_smith@ncsu.edu.

Now through Friday, Aug. 7, B, C and U permit-holders may flow into student parking areas (DE, DW zones). Sign changes will be taking place in late July or early August renaming student parking zones RE/RW. Note: DW parking in the Bragaw lot and DE parking in the North Hall lot will not be available due to the Hillsborough Street Roundabout project.

Depending on space availability after the final SAS Hall move-in, some B permits may be offered from the B waiting list. Permanent B permits are not likely to be offered until fall parking trends are established in mid-September. Contact David Gregory, parking services manager, david_gregory@ncsu.edu to have your name placed on the B waiting list.

Become a Greek Advisor

If you have ever wanted to become more involved with students across campus and support their academic success, here is where you can help. Greek Life will be hosting an informational meeting/training for faculty or staff members who may be interested in serving as a faculty advisor  to one of NC State’s fraternities or sororities. The meeting will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 3, at the ES King Village Commons. Lunch will be provided. Attending the meeting does not commit you to volunteering.

Faculty advisors of Greek organizations provide a vital link between the students and faculty, and their relationship often bridges the gap between classroom and out-of-classroom activities.

Space is limited so please RSVP to Mitzi Horton at Mitzi_Horton@ncsu.edu or 513-2910.
