We would like to make the community aware of the Campus Master Plan (CMP) website, which will be utilized for two-way communication as work progresses on the CMP.

The Campus Master Plan website is live and accessible from the campus main page or from the Facilities Management web page. Throughout the site, you will find information as it is posted by SmithGroup, our CMP consultant. You will also be able to provide comments regarding various aspects of campus on the Share Your Ideas forum.

We hope you stop in often!

As construction ramps up on the roads around campus in the next few weeks, please remember to check the Facilities Management US-41 Road Project web page for updated information.

Drivers and pedestrians are reminded to keep alert while in and around construction zones, and to follow all appropriate directions and be aware of changing traffic patterns.

The campus wireless network will be unavailable due to network maintenance from 11 p.m. May 21 to 6 a.m. May 22.

If you have any questions, we can help. Contact IT at it-help@mtu.edu or call 906-487-1111.

Did you miss the virtual World Water Day events, or would you like to share the recordings with colleagues, area K-12 teacher, or friends?
