Due to an event hosted at the Bren Events Center, Mesa Road and the surrounding roadways will be heavily impacted on Thursday, November 7, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as dozens of school buses navigate the area.

Please anticipate additional travel time and consider taking alternate routes via California Ave. and Academy Way to access campus destinations. View a map of the affected area for more details.

Due to continued work for the ICHA townhomes construction project, impacts are expected in the following areas through the project completion:
