Rosenberger Drive, which cuts through the campus of Bluffton University, will be barricaded and closed to traffic ahead of the Oct. 1 groundbreaking for Bluffton’s Austin E. Knowlton Science Center. After the ceremony, barricades will be removed for Homecoming and Alumni Weekend.

On Monday, Oct. 4, the Rosenberger Drive will permanently close to through traffic at College Avenue on Snyder Circle and at the small parking lot to Berky Hall on the opposite side.

This closure will start the process of creating a pedestrian-only central campus which supports student safety.
