Parking Updates for 2025-2026

Friday, July 25, 2025

Parking:

  1. Student Commuter Parking Zone pilot begins Fall 2025, designed to reduce congestion and improve parking availability near academic buildings during the busiest parts of the day.  Student commuters will now select a parking zone—South, East, or West—when purchasing a General permit. Each student will park in their assigned zone during peak hours (7:00 AM-1:00 PM).  See the latest student commuter map here.
  2. Lot 56 has been permanently closed to support a research space used by the Civil Engineering Department.
