Construction Impacts
Work Hours
Construction activities are scheduled Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Any weekend work will require pre-scheduled approval.
Noise Impacts
During this time, please expect typical construction noise to take place in the public spaces on Leavey Level 1 throughout the duration of the project.
Alternative Entrances
The hotel lobby (Lombardi Circle entrance) will be closed for the entirety of the construction period. Alternatively, community members can enter through the Leavey Garage elevator lobby and stairwell on the east side of the building.
Alternative entrance to Leavey Center noted with a green arrow. Yellow arrows signify additional alternative entrances that will have expected phased closures.
As part of the renovation, the gallery corridors will be upgraded and will undergo phased closures. These closures will affect pedestrian access between Hariri and the Leavey Center, as well as access to the Amazon Hub. Pedestrian signage will be posted throughout each phase of the project to redirect foot traffic. Information about upcoming phased closures will be posted on this landing page when available.
