Pedestrian Safety Project

Facilities/Construction Management goes beyond buildings


Facilities/Construction Management is proud to help support safety initiatives on campus.  A recent campus assessment of pedestrian safety was conducted and the results initiate the Pedestrian Safety Project being managed by Assistant Project Manager Akila Raman in Campus Construction Services (CCS).

The primary purpose of this project is to improve pedestrian safety campus-wide. One of the recommendations given in the report to was to identify, fix and replace traffic signage throughout the campus. This not only helps to comply with codes and standards but ultimately increases the overall pedestrian safety. Installing signage that is structurally more secure along with being more visibly legible will help both pedestrians and drivers in vehicles. In addition, this project will standardize a 15 mile per hour speed limit throughout the campus in an effort to improve safety for pedestrians.

The first phase is currently in design and the anticipated start date is prior to the Spring 2022 semester. F/CM will work closely with the engineer and contractor to develop a traffic control plan that will ensure efficient vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow during repair and replacement of these identified signs.

This is just the first of several phases to address various traffic safety-related issues throughout the campus.
