The completion of repairs to Parking Lot F9 has been delayed due to unexpected weather conditions over winter break, which caused the asphalt plant to temporarily close. Employees can view alternative parking options on the Parking and Transportation Services (PATS) website to help plan their commute. Allot more time in your commute to finding parking during the first two weeks of the semester. Student commuter parking will be impacted in Parking Lot 30. PATS is working diligently to minimize disruptions and will share a new anticipated timeline on its website as soon as possible.
