As activity slows down on campus during summer, expect to see reduced hours for many buildings and services during the coming months.

Most locations and services will be closed for Juneteenth on June 19, Independence Day on July 4 and Labor Day on Sept. 2. Zero week, the week before the start of the summer session, runs through June 23 and summer term begins June 24. 

Campus Planning and Facilities Management has real-time information on closures and major projects on the department’s Construction Impacts map.

Parking spaces may be easier to find, but all campus lots will be patrolled by Transportation Services as usual. Summer term parking permits are on sale now, become active on June 24 and expire on Sept. 22. 

The community can expect traffic and parking around Hayward Field to be affected by the U.S. Olympic Trials – Track and Field event starting June 16. Transportation Services will list updated campus information if and when conditions change while the TrackTown USA website will have primary event details. The Olympic Trials map displays the event footprint including ticketed areas and parking impacts.

The building will be open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through the end of second summer session, Aug. 16. Starting Aug. 17, it will be open 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and closed on weekends through mid-September. Most, but not all, EMU food vendors will be open throughout the summer with some adjustments during the Olympic Trials.

The dining areas at the Unthank and Carson residence halls will be open to the community with a variety of daily buffet entrées and other options such as salad bar, sandwiches, coffee and desserts. Carson Dining is closed from July 16 to Aug. 20 and Unthank is closed Aug. 21 to Sept. 15.
