Navigation/Parking


Wayfinding Map

The directional wayfinding map was created to help UMSL students, faculty, & staff navigate around the construction zones in the North Campus Quad. This map shows the active construction zones and the best routes to navigate around the North Campus Quad.

Parking

UMSL Facilities recommends that students, faculty, staff, and potential visitors park in the MSC parking garages located on the east side of North Campus during construction. The quad will remain most accessible during construction via the MSC bridge.

Campus Sub-Committee Coordination

A campus sub-committee was formed in May 2024 to review routes and identify areas in adjacent buildings where directional signage could be improved in anticipation for the North Campus Quad closure. This sub-committee included members of Disability Access Services, Marcom, Facilities, UMSL Bridge Program, and other impacted groups. The sub-committee provided input on accessible routes, wayfinding maps, and directional signage. 

UMSL Facilities will communicate regular updates throughout the semester to assist our campus community with navigating around construction activities and anticipate planned disruptions.
