The campus branch of Bank of America will be closing from Friday until July 4 while renovations relocate the branch to the first floor of Mallinckrodt Center.

The Bank of America located on the second floor of Mallinckrodt Center will be closed from the end of the business day on Friday until July 4 because of renovations in the building.

Administrators hope that the closing will have a minimal effect on students.

“It’s more for the students, and that’s why the hours are geared to students,” said Amy Kweskin, the associate vice chancellor for finance.

The bank will reopen on the first floor of Mallinckrodt, east of the bookstore.

The ATM just outside Mallinckrodt will still be functional throughout the summer, except for a few hours on April 29.

The renovations are planned to occur over the summer when the fewest number of students are on campus.

“It’s primarily used during time students are here; that’s why it’s closed during the month of June,” said Martha Bradley, the University’s assistant treasurer.

Still, students wish that the bank would close after the majority of them left for the summer.

“It would have made more sense for them to have waited until exams were finished because students are still on campus,” said junior Jeff Marinshaw, who typically uses the bank once a year.

As a fully operational branch, the bank also serves faculty, employees and visitors.

Even though students are the primary users of the bank, many use it infrequently.

“I think a lot of people don’t even realize it is here,” said sophomore Elena Seligson, who has only used the bank twice. “Because I know in advance that the bank is closing, I can still use the ATMs and if I need a full branch I can go off campus.”

Each year, the bank is closed over winter and summer breaks.

Student groups that normally deposit money at the bank have been directed to other places where they can make these transactions.

There are ATMs on the South 40 next to the Gregg House storefronts, between Seigle Hall and the tennis courts and in the Village House. The nearest full-service Bank of America is located in Clayton at 7800 Forsyth Blvd., 1.5 miles from campus.
