Starting May 20, construction fencing will be set up around Galloway Hall, which will block access to the sidewalks on the Riegel Road side of the building. This is being done in preparation for the demolition of Galloway Hall. For your safety, please be cautious and follow the signs posted to redirect pedestrians around the back side of Galloway.
Please note that due to the high volume of construction traffic that will be routed through during the demolition, the overflow parking area beside the hitting facility on Reigel Road will be closed beginning July 1 and will reopen Aug 30.
Questions can be directed to brackensc@uncw.edu.

As part of the university’s ongoing master planning process, King Hall is scheduled for renovation, requiring the entire building to be vacated. The work will begin at the end of the spring 2023 semester, following commencement. The yearlong project will focus on HVAC systems and code requirements and include modifications to the first floor for the Department of Film Studies and reconfiguration of the second floor to accommodate Honors College and other academic units.
All film studies and pre-engineering faculty and staff offices currently located in King Hall will be relocated to the R-Lot Modular units on Chancellor's Walk for the duration of the renovation. Courses normally scheduled for King Hall will be relocated to appropriate spaces across campus. Morton Hall and the R-Lot Modulars are receiving upgrades to meet the needs of many of the displaced courses. The Office of the Registrar is aware of these changes. Additional messaging regarding the renovation will be shared with campus as necessary. Contact the Office of Facilities with questions or concerns.

Parking lot adjustments and temporary road closures to accommodate the expansion and renovation of UNCW Library and crosswalk safety enhancements on Randall Drive are slated to begin this week. The Office of Facilities and the Office of Parking and Transportation are sharing advance information about these plans to help the campus community prepare for any inconveniences that may result from the university’s progress on these important efforts. Facilities and parking will share further adjustments as needed as the projects progress.
Parking Lot Adjustments: Beginning May 20, the faculty/staff parking lot at the end of Kenan Hall Drive, between UNCW Library and King Hall, along with parking spaces on the northside of Kenan Hall Drive, will be closed to accommodate large trucks completing construction deliveries. The trucks will use the Randall Drive-College Road entrance to campus. Please be prepared for periodic traffic congestion in this area as well as along Wagoner Drive in front of Kenan Auditorium during the UNCW Library project.
The closure is connected to the planned expansion and renovation of UNCW Library. This complex project will periodically affect several parking areas around the library between now and completion (expected fall 2024). Please monitor campus inboxes for more information from facilities and parking as the project progresses.
Thank you for your attention and for exercising patience and caution. While these efforts may cause temporary inconvenience, they are part of a long-term plan to ensure UNCW has the facilities in place to continue educating Seahawks far into the future.
