The Craft Center is located in the southeast corner of Muir College, immediately north of Bonner Hall.

Normal worker hours will be 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Modifications in abatement activities may be conducted with campus approval to include possible weekend work.

Immediate Street Traffic, Bicycle and Pedestrian Impacts:

Faculty, staff and students may experience additional construction traffic on Gilman Drive, with traffic coming from La Jolla Village Drive. Flagmen and signage may be posted to allow circumnavigation of construction traffic. Pedestrian pathways will be impacted and pedestrians may be directed to adjacent walkways during abatement work. The Fire Lane between the Craft Center and Bonner Hall will be maintained within the site fence. Pedestrian, cart, and bicycle traffic may need to seek alternate routes to Ridge Walk as indicated on the map. Please view the area map at:
