Projects to begin on UK’s south campus
LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 18, 2024) — The University of Kentucky community will notice fencing being installed as exciting developments are on the horizon for south campus. To ensure the safety of the campus and the public, the fencing will be placed along the perimeter of the South Lawn.
UK Campus Housing recommends residents living in Smith, Baldwin and Ingels residence halls use entrances and/or exits on the pedway side of the buildings to navigate the area during this time. University Flats residents can continue to use their normal routes to enter or exit the building.
UK Housing will continue to update campus as information becomes available. For questions, contact UK Campus Housing at ukhousing@uky.edu.
As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
