Parnassus Research and Academic Building (PRAB)

The next major phase of construction to create a retaining wall known as shoring has begun. The expected completion date for this phase of work is the fall of 2024.

Trucks will be accessing the jobsite from Parnassus Avenue and Koret Way. Periodic increased truck traffic is expected to remove material from the jobsite. On days of high truck traffic, flaggers will be present to direct vehicle and pedestrian traffic, monitor truck idling, and ensure all trucks are covered when leaving the jobsite. Current trucking routes can be accessed here.

As a safety precaution and to allow more space for construction logistics, Koret Way will remain closed to parking indefinitely. ADA parking spaces and a pedestrian route to the Koret Vision Center will be available.

Hours of work will be Monday - Friday, 7:00AM - 5:00PM. Saturday work is expected through the month of March from 8:00AM - 5:00PM.
