Farrand Residence Hall Renovation (May 2026–July 2028)

Farrand Residence Hall Renovation (May 2026–July 2028) Nancy Portner Mon, 05/18/2026 - 19:58

Starting May 26, 2026, Farrand Residence Hall will undergo a major renovation expected to last just over two years. During construction, access will be limited on Baker Drive north of Farrand Hall, Wardenburg Drive will be impacted, and the road just west of Farrand Hall will be closed to public access. Pedestrian and vehicle patterns in the area may shift, and four ADA parking spaces on Baker Drive will be relocated to the parking lot north of Farrand Field. Nearby buildings—including Farrand, Libby, and Aden Halls—will remain accessible, but visitors should plan for extra time and follow posted signage. Thank you for your patience as we improve this campus residential space.

Heads Up: Cone Zone on Broadway Near Regent Drive (Starting May 4)

Heads Up: Cone Zone on Broadway Near Regent Drive (Starting May 4) Nancy Portner Tue, 05/12/2026 - 12:49

What’s a queue jump?

A queue jump gives buses a short, dedicated space to move ahead of traffic at signals — helping keep trips faster and more reliable.

Starting May 4, the City will begin construction on a new bus queue jump on northbound Broadway at the Regent Drive intersection. This will allow RTD and the Buff Bus to use the right turn lane to bypass queued traffic in the two vehicle through lanes. Once at the intersection, buses will be allowed to go straight through to the Regent bus stop. (All other traffic will go right onto Regent).

This work is part of a larger effort to improve bus reliability and safety in this busy corridor. Read more about the project on the City of Boulder's project page. You may notice lane shifts, cones, and crews in the area during construction.

Construction to support this new stop begins May 4, so you may notice cones and crews on northbound Broadway near Regent Drive this spring and summer. This will not impact the summer Stampede bus service. As a reminder, there is no Will Vill bus over the summer.

The new stop will open for Will Vill buses in August. Keep an eye out for updated stop signs and rider alerts later this summer so you’re ready when the new stop goes live.

We appreciate your patience while this improvement is underway — it’s setting the stage for better bus service to campus.
