Welcome lumberjacks! 🪓💜

Heads up, Lumberjacks! 🚧 Starting Monday, May 4, a section of Hayter Street east of Raguet Street will be closed as underground utility work begins to support major campus construction. This work supports the future Greg Arnold Center for Entrepreneurship and the ongoing growth of our Forestry and Agriculture facilities. This section will remain closed through August 1. Expect heavier traffic west of Raguet Street on Lloyd, Blount, Hayter and Raguet, especially during peak drop-off and pick-up times near the Early Childhood Research Center. SFA Police, Nacogdoches ISD Police and Nacogdoches Police officers will be on site during these times to help ensure safety and maintain traffic flow. Detours and additional signage will be in place to help guide drivers through the area. Please plan ahead, follow posted signage and allow extra time when traveling through campus. #AxeEm
