The ASI Poly Escapes Climbing Park will undergo routine maintenance from Nov. 6, 2022, through the beginning of winter quarter 2023. Though the Climbing Park is in good shape, maintenance is essential to making sure ASI facilities are up to the standards that our guests expect and deserve. This refresh will also provide climbers with new routes. 

Updated routes, routine maintenance and cleaning

For the duration of the project, the Climbing Park will be fenced off and inaccessible. The ASI Poly Escapes Rental Center will be open during the project.  

A new sprinkler system will be installed in the Julian A. McPhee University Union starting winter 2022. As a student hub on campus, the University Union serves hundreds of students every day; and with responsibility for the safety of those students—and all campus community members—the University Union must undergo a comprehensive upgrade and installment of its sprinkler system. The renewal of the facility’s fire sprinkler system will ensure the safety of all students, staff, and campus community members that utilize the University Union. 

A modernized, robust fire sprinkler system that will fortify the University Union’s safety features and assure its patrons of their well-being. 

During this phase of the project, the second floor of the University Union will see considerable impacts and closures throughout areas of the facility. Wayfinding signage will be available at all entrances and exits. Though conference rooms and offices will be closed and blocked off, the restrooms and elevator on the second floor of the University Union will remain accessible via a construction tunnel.  

Affected Rooms: 

Beginning Nov. 10, 2022: UU221 (San Luis Lounge), UU219, UU218, UU217 (Student Diversity & Belonging, Safer, Club Administration), UU216, UU215, UU214, UU212 (ASI Business Office), UU211, UU210, UU209 and UU208 (Chandler Lounge) will be closed.

Throughout this phase of construction, Chumash Auditorium and general study space will also remain open.

As a mainstay for Cal Poly field sports, clubs, and more, the Cal Poly Sports Complex’s Upper Fields will have their turf replaced beginning April 1, 2022.

From ASI Intramural Sports to club competitions and regular community traffic, the Upper Fields host communities from all over campus. To keep serving those communities and more, the Upper Fields will have to undergo a renewal. The anticipated completion of this project is September 2022.

• New artificial turf
• Lining for Soccer, Flag Football, Men’s Lacrosse, Women’s Lacrosse, and Field Hockey
