Changes to COVID-19 testing center operations start July 12

The COVID-19 testing center served a vital role in the university’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020–21 academic year.  

The large number of vaccinated people among the campus community has resulted in a much lower volume of asymptomatic COVID-19 testing, so the university will shift the center’s operations starting Monday, July 12. Before the shift, the testing center will remain open through Thursday, July 8, as normal. Reconfiguration will take place before the center opens again on July 12. 

The indoor testing center will move to the auxiliary gym inside the David Williams II Recreation and Wellness Center. People coming in for testing can park in Lot 102 and enter through the large doors at the back of the building by the recreation fields and Lot 102. 

Drive-up outdoor testing will be available behind the David Williams II Recreation and Wellness Center on Children’s Way in Lot 102. Spaces will be reserved for drive-up testing. 

Faculty, staff and postdocs in the summer testing program will continue to participate through July 31. Students in the summer testing program will continue until each school’s/program’s vaccination deadline. Summer testing hours will continue at the following times: 

  • Monday – 7 a.m.–3 p.m. 
  • Tuesday – 7 a.m.–1 p.m. 
  • Wednesday – 7 a.m.–1 p.m. 
  • Thursday – 7 a.m.–1 p.m.
