Beginning in November, the B1-B4 parking lots surrounding Millican Hall and the Duke Energy Welcome Center will undergo extensive renovations.
This project is designed to improve the condition of the parking lots, reduce vehicle traffic near the center of campus, and improve campus aesthetics with new landscaping and walkways. An overview is below. For more details, please see this flyer.
