This summer, solar panels will be installed in five locations on campus as part of TU’s first solar project. The panel installation will result in some closures to parking areas and pedestrian pathways:
West Village
From Monday, June 27 through Friday, July 22, the main brick walkway (Towson Way) in front of Barton House and Douglas House will be closed to all pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Pedestrian traffic will be rerouted south along the front of West Village Commons and back onto Towson Way, as shown in the project map. Fencing will be installed and signage will be posted at multiple locations. Pedestrians exiting Paca or Tubman will be directed toward West Village Commons and will not be permitted to walk towards Barton and Douglas.
The closure will allow solar panels to be lifted onto the rooftops of Barton and Douglass Houses. There will be a large crane as well as various lifting and loading equipment in the area. The parking spaces in front of the yellow bollards connecting lot 17 to Towson Way will be closed for crane set-up.
University Union
Beginning around June 15, portions of the third floor and roof of the University Union garage will be temporarily closed for project surveying. Signs will be posted.
We appreciate your patience. Stay tuned to T3 for notifications on upcoming closures and detours. For questions, email Steve Kolb at skolb@towson.edu.
