Effective Monday, Nov. 18, 42 additional faculty/staff parking stalls will be temporarily added in Lot 36 to accommodate the F11 construction parking changes caused by construction at the University Center.

Employees in the Social Work complex, Nedderman Hall, and the Engineering Research Building (ERB) are encouraged to park in Lot 36 to create additional parking for other employees in F12, east of the ERB, and Lot 38 by the UTA Bookstore.

This temporary change will be re-evaluated after F11 reopens in early 2020.
