Columbia Hall Alley Closure

Starting Monday, Nov. 10, the alley east of Hamline Street, situated between the Center for Biomedical Research and the Neuroscience Research Facility, will be closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The closure, expected to last through Dec. 8, will allow for the installation of new underground water piping serving nearby facilities.

Barricades will be installed to block traffic in the alley behind Columbia Hall that extends from Fifth Avenue North to Sixth Avenue North, and signage will direct pedestrians to walk around the east side of the Center for Biomedical Research to bypass the area.
