Members of the campus community are invited to check out Dell’s Destination RV on Friday, June 30, for some free food and drinks and a chance to see the latest Dell and Intel products.

Dell’s RV will be on campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the open plaza area between Kennedy and Rowe buildings.

Members of the University community will need to use their 49er ID cards to access the CRI, Union, Cone (faculty/staff west side only) and North decks beginning Tuesday, June 27. Tapping the card at a contactless reader will raise the gates for entry and exit.

The card will serve as the primary parking credential while the new license plate recognition (LPR) equipment at these locations is calibrated.

Once the system is fully operational, the card will serve as a backup credential if LPR ever fails to read a license plate.

The main entrance and exit to East Deck 1 from Mary Alexander Road will be closed from Monday, June 26, through Friday, July 7, to upgrade existing parking gate and payment equipment.

Expect lane closures, construction equipment, noise and dust in the area. Barricades and signage will be erected to direct employees/visitors to other entrances/exits.

Remember to exercise caution when approaching construction zones.

The program, administered by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality, provides individuals and organizations with tools to help reduce pollution and exposure to harmful levels of ozone and particulate matter.
