Building Closure Signage

During the closure period, all entrances to Nideyinàn have been clearly marked with signage indicating that the building is closed.

Signage has been installed at all access points to notify users that entry is not permitted and to direct them to alternate routes where applicable.

Please follow all posted signage and use designated alternate paths when navigating through the area.

Dining Services Alternatives

During the closure period, dining options in Nideyinàn are closed. Visit the Dining Services Hours of Operations page for information on alternative dining options during the closure.

Why This Timing was Chosen

The closure is scheduled after the end of the winter term and final exams to minimize disruption to academic activities. Spring timing also reduces the broader impacts that would occur during winter heating periods or cooling periods later in the summer.

Reopening

Normal access to Nideyinàn is expected to resume at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, following system restoration and safety checks.

We recognize that this temporary closure may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as this important work is completed.
