New Ramp outside NW corner of Guyot

Sept. 25, 2023

A new ramp will replace the steps outside the north west corner of the Guyot building. The new ramp provides a mild slope to travel north from Goheen Walk to Frist Lane. The sidewalks along Washington Road are steep and may be difficult for people with mobility issues.

Background

Construction of two major projects, Hobson College and the new University Health Services building, blocked many paths previously used to travel north from Goheen Walk. A set of temporary stairs were installed along the end of the detour path, outside the NW corner of Guyot. Facilities received feedback that the stairs made the detour route even more difficult for some community members. A ramp was designed to fit in unused space, next to the stairs, and should be completed in Fall, 2023.
