The University of Oregon Week of Welcome is four activity-filled days leading up to the start of classes Sept. 29. Of special note for employees will be traffic and parking impacts during residence hall move-in known as Unpack the Quack.
Most students will move in Thursday, Sept. 25, or Friday, Sept. 26, depending on their assigned arrival date and check-in time. About 5,000 students are expected to arrive over those two days, in addition to those who will have moved in earlier in the week.
Transportation Services encourages drivers to avoid streets and parking lots around the residence halls starting Sept. 22 and consider remote work and/or bus, bike and other travel means.
Lots 29A, 29D, 33, 34E, 36A, 49 and 50 will be reserved for residents moving into the halls.
On Sept. 25 and 26, Agate Street from Franklin Boulevard to East 18th Avenue will be closed.
Traffic will be restricted on 13th, 15th and 17th avenues and only accessible to UO affiliates and residents moving in.
