Updated Freshmen Friday Move-In Route Recommendations
Due to installation of a new pedestrian island near Desmet and Hamilton, we are advising northbound Hamilton traffic to turn left on Boone, NOT Desmet.
Arrival Recommendations:
DeSmet/Welch:
From Hamilton: If southbound, turn right onto Desmet. If driving northbound, turn left onto Boone. Continue towards campus and turn left on Cincinnati. Stop at the temporary stop sign which will be manned by security personnel. Tell the officer either “DeSmet” or “Welch” and you will be instructed to continue westbound to the next controlled check point. After stopping again, the officer will direct you to your desired destination.
From southbound Cincinnati: Stop at the temporary stop sign which will be manned by security personnel. Tell the officer either “DeSmet” or “Welch” and you will be instructed to continue westbound to the next controlled check point. After stopping again, the officer will direct you to your desired destination.
Madonna/Catherine-Monica:
From Hamilton: If southbound, turn right onto Desmet. If driving northbound, turn left onto Boone. Continue towards campus and turn left on Cincinnati. Stop at the temporary stop sign which will be manned by security personnel. Tell the officer either “Madonna” or “Catherine-Monica” and you will be instructed to turn left onto Cincinnati and proceed until met by another staff member who will assist you to the proper unloading area.
From south bound Cincinnati: Stop at the temporary stop sign which will be manned by security personnel. Tell the officer either “Madonna” or “Catherine-Monica” and you will be instructed to turn left onto Cincinnati and proceed until met by another staff member who will assist you to the proper unloading area.
Coughlin Hall:
From southbound Hamilton: Drive past the University to Spokane Falls Blvd and turn right. Proceed one block to Cincinnati and turn right again. Patterson Baseball Complex will be on the corner. Continue up Cincinnati until met by a security staff member. After advising them that you are assigned to Coughlin Hall, you will be instructed to either turn right into the Coughlin Hall parking lot to unload or left into the McCarthey Arena if the dorm lot is full.
If for some chance you enter Cincinnati from the north (at Desmet) immediately advise the staff member that you need to get to Coughlin Hall and you will be allowed, traffic permitting, to continue southbound on Cincinnati. Once you reach Coughlin Hall, advise the security staff member at that location that you are assigned to that dorm and need to unload. You will then be directed to the appropriate parking unloading area. Please note: To expedite the move-in process on campus, Cincinnati Street from Desmet to Lower Kennedy will be restricted to southbound “one-way” traffic only. To alleviate being “stuck” in traffic from the other dorms, it is advisable for Coughlin Residents only to access the area by utilizing the southernmost portion of Cincinnati from Spokane Falls Blvd. That portion of the road will remain open throughout the day to normal north and south bound vehicle traffic.
