Student Announce April 21, 2025

Come see if you have what it takes to pass the entry level physical fitness exam for the Alfred State Police Academy!!!!

We would like to inform the campus community about upcoming site work being performed by CATCO, starting the week of 4/21/2025, that may temporarily affect pedestrian and vehicular traffic in certain areas of campus. Please review the following updates:

• Sidewalk Closure Near PHS: CATCO construction just north of Physical & Health Sciences will temporarily close a sidewalk as marked with a red box on this map. All other nearby sidewalks will remain open, and PHS building entrances will be maintained. Flaggers will be present to ensure safe passage during intermittent closures. This work involves repairing a foundation wall crack to eliminate water intrusion in the building.
• Joint Sealer Installation: CATCO will also be applying joint sealer to newly installed sidewalk sections. While this work may create short, minor pedestrian detours, it is not expected to cause full sidewalk closures. Please note that this activity is weather-dependent.
• Grounds Restoration: It's time for our campus to spring to life with plants, trees, and grass sprouting! Restoration of areas disturbed during recent construction will impact pedestrian pathways and roads, requiring brief reroutes. Some equipment will be briefly staged on roadways; however, flaggers will be stationed to guide traffic and maintain safety. The final phase of this work includes hydroseeding to establish a healthy lawn in time for commencement.

We appreciate your continued patience and cooperation as we finish the infrastructure project to enhance our campus environment.
