The pedestrian passageway that runs under Guthridge Hall will close Nov. 23 and remain out of service until spring 2010, according to an e-mail Thursday from Residential Property Management.

The passageway connects F Street to an alleyway adjacent to G Street, and will be closed to build a new green plaza behind Guthridge and alongside South Hall.

An RPM representative said Thursday afternoon that the rear entrance to South Hall will likely be closed as well, though the department is working with contractors and hopes to avoid closing that entrance.

Access to and from the Guthridge basement will remain open, according to the e-mail.
