Be mindful of road restrictions

Driving around campus may be tricky for a while so be careful, patient and follow road signage.

“We’re trying to do as much as we can now so traffic patterns are not a problem for returning students,” said Mark Flynn, executive director of Capital Assets and Services. “We will provide weekly updates of the traffic patterns on our web site.”

Construction of NAU’s new Applied Research and Development building and the central campus parking structure, along with the need for asphalt repair will cause some streets to narrow or close.
