Construction / Parking Notice for Central Campus Venues

Through November 2026

North University and Thayer Street directly adjacent to Hill Auditorium will be closed for construction during the 2026 fall semester. We recommend event attendees arrive early, anticipate limited parking, and consider public transit options.

Construction will limit access to the Thayer Street Parking Structure. The Power Center Fletcher Street Parking Structure or the Palmer Structure are the nearest alternatives.

Increased traffic and limited parking may impact attendees of events at Hill Auditorium, Rackham Auditorium, Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, and the Power Center.
