Dear Students,
I hope you enjoyed your winter break and are returning refreshed for Spring Semester.
Please be aware in a short period of time, the Monroe Street Reconstruction project will begin. This project will significantly impact commute times and access to our Monroe Street Campus, possibly through November of 2018.
At the direction of President Flanagan, Edgewood College’s Monroe Street Reconstruction Task Force was created to keep apprised of developing construction schedules and find ways to mitigate the impact to campus. Colleagues from the Edgewood community have been meeting regularly since September 2017 to prepare. This communication contains the important information we know at this time. As plans are finalized, we will bring you up to speed. At any time, you may go directly to www.edgewood.edu/monroestreet for the most up to date information.
Exactly when construction will begin has not yet been finalized by the City of Madison. Here is what we know as of today:
We will do our best to communicate updates as additional information becomes available. Please check the web page www.edgewood.edu/monroestreet frequently for updates. You can also reach out directly to me or any of the Monroe Street Reconstruction Task Force members listed below.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sincerely,
Michael Guns, Vice President for Business and Finance
