Safety, Parking and Traffic
Shuttle Route Change To/From Main Building
Through the summer of 2021, the Notre Dame shuttle’s Main Building drop-off and pickup point will be in the St. Liam parking lot by the Mail Distribution Center. The shuttle will not use the circle drive north of the Main Building during this time. The change corresponds with the construction project at nearby Brownson Hall.(See shuttle route map.)
Sorin Court Parking Outside Main Building
Due to construction at Brownson Hall, new parking restrictions are in place along Sorin Court, north of the Main Building, through the summer of 2021. No parking will be allowed on the west side of Sorin Court from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Drivers may park, with flashers, on the east side of Sorin Court for up to 10 minutes to load and unload. To offset the loss of parking, 90-minute parking will be allowed outside Lewis Hall. (See map.)
Tech Upgrades and Service Interruptions
Required Microsoft Upgrade for Windows 7 Computers by Jan. 23
Microsoft will discontinue support for the Windows 7 operating system later this month. All University-owned computers on Windows 7 must upgrade to Windows 10 (v1809) by Thursday, Jan. 23, to remain in compliance with Notre Dame security standards. Because the upgrade takes up to four hours to install, it is recommended to start the upgrade before leaving work so your work schedule is not interrupted.
