With thousands of graduates, families and guests attending commencement ceremonies at the Skydome on Friday and Saturday, some temporary traffic changes will go into effect.
The ceremonies begin at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. both days with receptions to follow.
To ease traffic flow, McConnell Drive, San Francisco Street and Pine Knoll Drive near the dome will be designated one way for all the ceremonies. The route will run clockwise around the dome.
A short two-way route will run on Pine Knoll only for individuals arriving on campus from I-17 and 40 and parking in P62, near the Forestry building.
Shuttles will run from P62, P13 (behind Performing and Fine Arts), P1 (across from the North Union), P7 (adjacent to the Wall Aquatic Center), P28 (near the Bookstore), and P31A (near Sechrist). At P31A San Francisco will be closed except for shuttles and emergency traffic.
NAU police officers and staff will be on hand to help with traffic flow. To view a map of the traffic patterns, click here.
Coconino Community College will celebrate commencement in Prochnow Auditorium at 4 p.m. Friday, so expect additional traffic in P1 at that time.
