From Monday, March 11, through Friday, April 5, the sidewalk and bike lane on the east side of Mary Alexander Road between Hickory and Sycamore Halls will be closed for construction related to the Sycamore Hall Renovation Project.

A construction fence and barricade will block the sidewalk and bike lane; signage will direct pedestrians to use the crosswalks and bike lane on the west side of Mary Alexander Road.

The bus stop at Hickory Hall will be relocated to the north near the stairs between Cedar and Hickory Halls.

When the Human Resources Department launched a new SHRA performance management program, NinerTalent STAKES, two years ago, the goal was to help supervisors and employees set meaningful performance goals for the success of the individual, unit and University. It also was designed to promote more ongoing, two-way communication regarding these goals.

The Leadership Enhancement and Development (LEAD) program is the required training that newly hired or promoted supervisors need to complete within their first 12 months on the job.

Starting this year, LEAD has changed. The content is divided into mini-modules available online and face-to-face. With this flexible format, participants can enroll in sessions that work best for their schedules and work at their own pace to fulfill the requirements within one year of appointment.

A partial lane closure along Cameron Boulevard near Poplar Lane is scheduled from Monday, March 4, through Sunday, March 10, for repair work to curbs, gutters and sidewalk ramps as well as the installation of traffic signals.

Remember to use caution when approaching construction areas.

A lane closure along Mary Alexander Road is scheduled for Wednesday, March 6, through Friday, March 8, for a project related to the construction of the science building.

Expect one-way traffic controlled by flaggers and delays in travel; buses will have the right of way.

Exercise caution when approaching construction zones.
