As part of the ongoing Central Utilities expansion to the cultural district, portions of 12th and 13th streets south and Zone B-2 will be closed to traffic and parking June 19-23. The closure will enable crews to mill and repave the areas.

Be advised of the following impacts:

• 12th Street South from University Boulevard to the entrance of Zone B-2
  • The west entrance/exit of the 12th Street Parking Deck will be closed
• 13th Street South from Zone B-2 to the pedestrian bridge between Sterne Library and the Humanities Building
  • The east entrance/exit of the 12th Street Parking Deck will remain open
• Zone B-2 will be closed

The project is an extension of the UAB Central Utilities steam and chilled water underground service mains routed through the Cultural Arts District of campus. The project will connect to existing utility infrastructure near the Collat School of Business and Sterne Library. This extension will enable current and future UAB buildings in the Cultural Arts District – including the Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center, Hulsey Center, Education and Engineering Complex and Humanities Building – to connect to the UAB Central Utilities system. Currently connected buildings experience energy savings with lower heating and cooling operating costs from a reliable utility source.
