Portions of Hoy Road on the Cornell campus will be closed temporarily Saturday, Sept. 2.

From 6 a.m. to approximately 2 p.m., the section of Hoy Road that runs in front of Rhodes Hall will be closed off. Vehicles will have access to the parking garage and the temporary Hoy parking lot from the entrance to campus at Dryden Road.

The road closing will allow a crane to be moved into position at Rhodes Hall for installation of a new emergency power generator, which will be lifted to the roof of the building, after the current generator is lifted out.

Rhodes Hall houses the Center for Theory and Simulation in Science and Engineering and branches of Cornell Information Technologies.
