Campus Notice for Mason Square

The plaza at Mason Square will be closed for improvements starting Monday, Nov. 6, and will remain closed until March 2024. Construction fencing will block most of the plaza, but accessible pathways to the main entrance of Van Metre Hall will remain available near the plaza stage and near Hazel Hall. 

The sidewalk along Fairfax Drive directly in front of the Fuse at Mason Square construction site will be closed starting this week through the rest of the fall semester. The pedestrian bridge between Washington Boulevard (near the north entrance to Vernon Smith Hall) and the FDIC plaza will have intermittent closures during September.

As the fall 2023 semester begins, Mason students, faculty and staff are reminded that traffic on and around the Fairfax Campus greatly increases, especially during the first few weeks of the semester. This campus parking and transportation guide with information on Mason Shuttles, visitor and non-permit parking options, biking, carpooling and other transit options will help minimize potential parking and traffic delays.
