Welcome back students, staff, and instructors.
All campuses are open.
Corner Brook Construction Projects Advisory
Corner Brook Campus students, staff, and instructors are reminded that Phase 3 of the Deep Gulch Culvert Replacement Project is still ongoing.
While University Drive near the O’Connell Drive/Mount Bernard Avenue intersection has reopened to traffic, you’re advised to take your time as it’s still a construction zone.
In addition, the “O’Connell Drive/Elizabeth Street Intersection Traffic Light Replacement Project” will start on September 2, 2025, which will likely result in traffic delays as the traffic lights will be out of commission, so please treat it as a “Four Way Stop”.
Please allow extra time to travel to the Corner Brook Campus.
Stay safe everyone!!
