Part of Mary Alexander Road to close temporarily

Between Monday and Wednesday, Dec. 17-19, a portion of Mary Alexander Road will be closed to vehicular traffic. Pedestrian traffic will remain on the east side of the roadway.

This closure is a safety measure related to the removal of the steam stack in preparation for construction to begin on the new science building.

Barricades will be erected at the intersections of Mary Alexander Road and Cameron Boulevard and Mary Alexander Road and Craver Road.

Cone loading dock area to close temporarily

The Cone loading dock will be closed to vehicles and pedestrian traffic from 7 a.m., Monday, Dec. 17, through 6 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 19, to add new parking stripes and to re-stripe faded ones.

All in-house vehicles must be removed from the dock to allow for painting and drying time. All painted surfaces on asphalt or concrete should be avoided through Dec. 20.

Pedestrians should refrain for entering the loading dock on Monday to avoid paint overspray and on Tuesday and Wednesday to avoid newly painted surfaces.

Duo – a gift for most employees

Starting today, most employees* and sponsored guests who use Duo now only need to change their NinerNET password every 365 days–no more changes every 90 or 180 days. Duo adds an extra layer of security; it’s no longer necessary to change passwords as often.

Follow the sign up instructions today at go.charlotte.edu/duosignup. It becomes a requirement starting
Jan. 31, 2019.
