Access to Plemmons Student Union from Locust Street limited during summer session

Construction adjacent to Plemmons Student Union at Appalachian State University will affect access to the building's east side, from Locust Street, throughout the summer.

Campus community members and visitors accessing the building from the Sanford Hall, Lucy Brock Child Development Center and L.S. Dougherty Hall areas should use the steps between L.S. Dougherty Hall and the Child Development Center and follow the walkway to the Cascades Cafe side entrance to the building, or use the building's center entrance facing Sanford Mall.

Access to the union's second floor from the Locust Street side interior stairwell is closed; however, egress is possible during an emergency.

Construction occurring near the east side of the Student Union includes demolishing the union's amphiteater and Coffey Hall in preparation for a new living-learning facility.
