Construction of the Discovery Learning Center and expansion and renovation of the University Memorial Center will affect parking availability on the east and west ends of campus for the next 15 to 24 months.
Construction of the Discovery Learning Center (DLC), to be located northeast of the College of Engineering, is scheduled to begin on June 1. Parking lots 444, east of aerospace engineering, and 437, north of engineering聮s Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory, will be eliminated by DLC construction.
Permit holders for lots 444 and 437 will receive specific information regarding parking alternatives from Parking and Transit Services. Persons who use lot 437 for nighttime or weekend parking may park in lots 436, 440 or 448, all accessible from Regent Drive south of Colorado Avenue, as alternatives.
The DLC construction project should be completed by Aug. 31, 2001.
The start date for the University Memorial Center (UMC) Expansion and Renovation project has been moved up to May 15. Most of parking lot 208, west of the UMC, will be taken out of service during the UMC project.
Non-disabled 208 parking permit holders will be assigned to alternative parking lots during the course of the project. Permit holders for lot 208 will receive specific information from Parking and Transit Services regarding alternative parking.
Persons who use lot 208 for nighttime or weekend parking may park instead in the Euclid Autopark, reached from Euclid Avenue east of the UMC, or lot 204, which is accessible from 18th Street across from the music college.
Pedestrian, bicycle and automobile traffic in the UMC area should watch for construction trucks entering the job site via Euclid Avenue southwest of the UMC, and exiting onto Broadway from the lot 208 access drive, just south of the intersection of Broadway and College Avenue.
UMC construction crews will use parking at Williams Village on a space-available basis. The UMC expansion and renovation project should be completed by May 31, 2002.
