The Princeton University Art Museum construction will continue until the Spring of 2024. During this time, there will be pedestrian detours around the perimeter of the construction site.

What you need to know:

• A temporary pathway from Elm Drive to Chapel Drive has been established between Clio and Whig and the construction site.  This pathway will lead you past Clio, Whig and Murray-Dodge with the construction fence on your right as you approach Chapel Drive.
• A pathway is available between Dodd Hall and the construction site.  Please use caution as you approach the driveway next to Dodd Hall between Dodd and Brown, this is the main construction gate for deliveries.  There is a flagger stationed at this gate at all times who can assist with crossing in front of the gate.
• A temporary accessible pathway has been established south of Brown.  You can travel on the west side of Brown and turn south to head towards Frist Campus Center and Prospect House.
• Starting mid-May 2022, the project will start to receive steel deliveries in anticipation of the installation of steel at the NE and NW corners of the site

What else you need to know:

• The McCosh Walk pathway between Clio as well as the diagonal pathway adjacent to the site will be closed during times when steel deliveries are anticipated.  This type of closure will begin on or about May 16, 2022 but will continue intermittently into the Fall semester.   
• During closures, pedestrians will be asked to travel around Clio to Chapel Drive where they can then either continue down Chapel Drive or rejoin McCosh Walk via the stairs between Clio and Whig.
• The area that is closed will be sectioned-off with snow-fence and there will be a flagger in place to help direct deliveries into the site and to help direct pedestrians around the pathway closure.
