Construction in North Campus began May 11, causing the closure of West Circle Drive from Auditorium Road to the Main Library entrance, with Beal Street to Hannah Administration Drive closed to the public.  For the duration of the project, parking lots 6 — the MSU Museum lot — and 11 — the lot behind the Main Library shared with the Hannah Administration building and Olds Hall — will remain closed. “It’s an overall underground utility refurbishment project,” Infrastructure Planning and Facilities project representative Andy Linebaugh said.
