What's New

Construction of the new pedestrian entrance at Garden Drive and West Cedar Lane is nearing completion and will be available for use starting on Monday, March 22. The Zelkova Lane entrance will be permanently closed and employees should instead use the Garden Lane pedestrian entrance.

In conjunction with the new pedestrian path, the employee vehicle pickup and drop-off area at Garden Lane will also be available for use on or about March 29. This will allow motorists to pull off West Cedar Lane to safely drop-off and pick-up passengers near the Garden Lane pedestrian entrance.

Motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists are all encouraged to share the roads and pathways on the campus appropriately. We are working to repaint crosswalks and roadway markings throughout the campus that have faded due to the winter weather.

As we are all aware, there are numerous construction projects currently underway. Each of these may present different pedestrian routings adjacent to or near the site. When walking near a construction site, use only the designated pathways.

With the onset of nicer weather, cyclists are encouraged to exercise safe riding practices including adhering to the requirements of The Code of Federal Regulations - Title 45, as well as the Maryland Vehicle Laws that apply to our campus. Motorists should exercise due caution at all times while operating a vehicle on the campus. Please remember throughout the day, that everyone will at some time be either a motorist, a cyclist or a pedestrian.
