Built in 1919, age and the Wisconsin elements have taken their toll on our beautiful Chapel and its façade is experiencing compromised structural integrity.
Starting Monday, November 6, shoring of the façade with scaffolding will begin to minimize further damage as we head into winter. During this process, you should enter Memorial Chapel through the Shattuck entrance. Once the shoring is complete, you will be able to enter safely through the front doors.
Safety is priority! Please be aware of your surroundings at all times while the shoring is being built.
New fire lane signs have been posted around the fire lanes that run through campus to alert drivers no parking areas. Signs that were posted in the past alerted drivers to pedestrian walking areas and reduced speed limits.

All campus fire lanes must be clear of parked vehicles. There is an exception for facilities operations service vehicles for short periods of time when performing building and equipment related tasks.
All personal vehicles must park in the designated parking lots or on the street parking spots on campus.
The Appleton Fire Department also drives around our campus to make sure that these areas are not being used for parking areas. We have received pictures of this inspection and have also warned contractors about parking in these areas and blocking access to building standpipe connections. (For example, the fire lane located by the south lower entrance doors to the Warch Campus Center). Also, keep areas clear and accessible around fire hydrants, making it is easy access the connections.
There will be daily inspections of fire lanes around Lawrence University and documenting vehicles that are parking in fire lanes. If you have questions, please contact Mark Musser (mark.musser@lawrence.edu).
