McNichols entrance getting a new look
UDM’s McNichols Road entrance is getting a facelift.
Beginning today, Oct. 7, the McNichols entrance will be closed for renovations.
Renderings of the new entrance show a more decorative archway and two entry lanes for incoming vehicles. The changes will allow visitors in one lane and a continuous flow for students and faculty with permits in the other.
In the meantime, entry off McNichols will be through a temporary entrance farther east towards Fairfield Street, near the multi-purpose athletic field.
The new entrance is scheduled to be done by the start of the winter semester.
