Duncan/Newstead Intersection to Reopen &
Duncan to Close West of Newstead
From: WUMC Campus Renewal Project
Over the next several months, construction projects around the Washington University Medical Center will
continue to affect traffic flow and shuttles as campus-wide improvements to parking and intersections
continues. Below is a timeline of upcoming events. Please refer to the corresponding map.
Effective April 20th
Duncan/Newstead intersection to reopen, Duncan to close west of Newstead
The intersection at Duncan and Newstead will reopen on Monday, April 20th. Duncan west of Newstead will
close (see detail on map) as work to upgrade the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) storm water line
continues. This section of Duncan is expected to be closed for three weeks.
While this section of Duncan is closed, the entrance and exit to the SLCH staff garage on Duncan will be closed.
All staff using the SLCH staff garage will have to enter and exit from Newstead.
The SLCH shuttle stop in the garage will be relocated to 4444 Forest Park Ave. The 4444 building
will be open and staffed with a WU security officer 4 a.m.-1 a.m. Monday through Friday so staff
will have option of waiting inside the building.
Pedestrian access across Duncan will be maintained at all times.
Shuttle depot to close; stops to relocate
Washington University School of Medicine will begin site work for its new administrative office building, which
will require the closure of the shuttle depot. The following new shuttle stops will be in effect until the new
building opens in 2017 (refer to corresponding map):
South campus new stop – West Pavilion
South campus existing stop – Olin Hall circle
SLCH and north campus – Wohl circle near the northwest corner of the BJC Institute of Health
North campus existing stop – Center for Outpatient Health
With the addition of shuttle traffic on Children’s Place and Wohl Circle, security will monitor the circle drive in
front of SLCH. Cars will not be allowed to park more than five minutes.
Effective mid-May
Upon completion of the MSD work on Duncan:
Duncan will reopen to traffic in both directions.
The entrance/exit to the SLCH garage will reopen.
The Newstead entrance/exit to the SLCH staff garage will close for up to two months as the
access road to the new garage is constructed and this entry drive is reconfigured to accommodate
the new and existing garages.
The shuttle stop for SLCH parkers will remain at the 4444 building.
The public safety officers will continue to monitor traffic flow and direct vehicles. An updated shuttle map showing the new locations will be available the week of April 13. Questions regarding
shuttle can be directed to Margie Brine at 362-0760 or [email protected].
Brauer Supply Communication
From: Dave Williams, WUSM Real Estate Manager
As of April 1st, Washington University no longer owns either of the two buildings formerly known as Brauer
Supply (shown below in the red box). Accordingly, WUSM has no further obligation to monitor and/or
maintain either of these two locations. The School of Medicine had previously been watching over these two
buildings after they were acquired by the Danforth campus in 2009 as strategic real estate investments. Both
buildings now belong to Wexford and are scheduled for demolition in the near future. Any future inquiries
regarding this site can be directed to Dave Williams at 747-2757 and he will handle with Wexford/CORTEX as
appropriate.
4444 Forest Park Parking Lot Repair
From: David Strowmatt, Transportation Services Field Supervisor
On Friday, April 10th, several large pot holes located at the 4444 Forest Park west lot (near the north
entrance/exit) will be repaired. The work will be completed by the morning of Saturday, April 11th. Parkers will
need to use the south entrance/exit on Friday, April 10th. This work is weather dependent. We will have
directional signage in place.
Weather Safety Reminder
From: Ty Davisson, Director of Emergency Management
As the thunderstorm and tornado season approaches, please review the following safety tips and share with
your departments.
