A Note About Construction on Campus

UNCW is experiencing unprecedented growth. This is a very exciting time that also brings challenges during periods of heavy construction. The following tips should help you stay safe and
navigate around campus work zones.

• Do not enter work zones.
• Obey all signs.
• Don’t create a shortcut when construction vehicles block the road.
• Watch where you are going. Things may change hourly on campus, and the pathway you took earlier may be blocked or have items that may catch a walker or cyclist off guard. (For
  example, construction fencing can catch on a bike pedal and cause riders to wreck.)
• Walk bicycles, scooters and skateboards through tight spaces.
• Be extra careful of construction vehicles – especially those backing up. The driver may not be able to see you.
• Allow extra time in your schedule and expect the unexpected.
• Orange pennant “detour” signs are being installed on campus to route persons around construction sites. Look for these and follow their directions.
