Wendy Knipe Bredhold Media Relations Specialist, News & Information Services 812/461-5259 Just over 200 parking spaces in lots A and G were lost to the roundabout and road expansion project, and about half of parking lot J is currently in use as a staging area for construction of the Business and Engineering Center. At the same time, more than 200 parking spaces have been added, by expanding existing parking lots or building new ones. Parking lot F, across University Boulevard from the Ceramics Center, has been expanded to include an additional 39 spaces. Lot M, south of Ruston Hall, has 27 more parking spaces, allowing students to park closer to the residence halls and freeing spaces in lots D and E. And there is a new parking lot, L, with 226 additional parking spots on Bluff Lane beyond lot K and the tennis courts. The parking lot across from the Physical Plant has 50 added spaces as well. Steve Woodall, director of Security, recommended that during the first couple of weeks of the fall semester, students and employees drive directly to the outlying parking lots rather than cruising the first few rows to find a space. "There will be ample parking," he said. "It may not be right next to your building, but there will be parking. If you go to the back of the lot or places that are off the beaten path, you will find a place a lot quicker." Woodall said that the University's fleet vehicles will be moved out of lot G so that individuals have access to those parking spots. "Obviously the first couple of weeks is the busiest time," he said. "Allow yourself time to find a parking spot." |
