Campus Construction Update
In order to accommodate construction for the multi-purpose building, there will be no access to Cullimore Hall from the south side (Lot #2). The south doors will be closed for both entering and exiting Cullimore.
Access to Cullimore Hall will be accommodated through the west and north doors and through the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. entrance to Eberhardt Hall. Emergency exiting from Cullimore Hall will be accommodated through the north and west doors only.
Both the city of Newark and State of New Jersey Fire Inspectors have reviewed and approved this plan.
Questions should be addressed to Joseph Tartaglia, Associate Vice President for Facilities Management at 973 596-5731.
