CONVOCATION CENTER TO BE CLOSED FOR FILMING
Posted on November 28, 2012
The
Convocation Center will be closed and a portion of the Loop Road will be
inaccessible to traffic Dec. 16-23 while scenes for a major motion picture are
being filmed on campus. This
is a “closed set,” and no one will be admitted to the Convocation Center
without the appropriate credentials. The
Loop Road will be closed from the Hamer Crossing to Lot 11, and the lower
portion of Lot 4 will be closed to accommodate the film crew. Access
to portions of Gallagher Hall also will be restricted on Dec. 19-21, and movie
extras will be parking in the River Lot on Dec. 20-21. Parking areas will be
marked. Visitor
parking is available in the Vulcan Garage, off Third Street near the campus
entrance. We
appreciate the patience of students, faculty and staff as our University takes
advantage of this exceptional opportunity. Please follow all posted
instructions and extend a warm and courteous welcome to visitors on campus. See
