Memorandum
TO: The Alcorn State University Community
FROM: Clinton Bristow, Jr., President
DATE: March2, 2006
SUBJECT: New Dining Hall ConstructionAs Alcorn continues its growth, I am pleased to report that construction on the new dining hall will begin on Monday, March 6, 2006. The new facility will be constructed in the campus green area directly across from the front of the Library.
During the construction period, there will be major traffic and parking disruptions. ASU Drive from Bowles Hall going up pass the Library will be closed to construction traffic only. Please allow ample time to get from one location on campus to another because of street closures, reduced parking and heavy construction traffic. Please be careful and safe.
Thanks for your cooperation as Alcorn moves forward to better serve us all.
