ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

People planning to attend commencement at the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder on Friday morning, May 12, are encouraged to leave ample time for driving, particularly people arriving via U.S. 36. Traffic volume is expected to be about half of game-day traffic during CUÂ’s football season, which sometimes clogs the Turnpike even without construction delays. Because of construction work along U.S. 36, similar tie-ups could result, although all lanes reportedly will be open.

Construction of the Discovery Learning Center and expansion and renovation of the University Memorial Center will affect parking availability on the east and west ends of campus for the next 15 to 24 months. Construction of the Discovery Learning Center (DLC), to be located northeast of the College of Engineering, is scheduled to begin on June 1. Parking lots 444, east of aerospace engineering, and 437, north of engineeringÂ’s Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory, will be eliminated by DLC construction.

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder Associate Professor Kristi Anseth has been named an investigator by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, bringing the number of the prestigious appointments on the Boulder campus to four.

With about 20,000 people expected to attend the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ at Boulder commencement exercises May 12 at 9:30 a.m. in Folsom Stadium, attendees should plan to make an early arrival. Parking will be available in Lot 436 on Regent Drive for most people attending. Meters on campus are free the morning of the University Commencement Ceremony, but regular fees will be charged for the Euclid Autopark east of the University Memorial Center.
