   CONSTRUCTION AHEAD   
Heads up! Lot 7 will soon be fenced off for staging and construction of a new research science building. Once the building is complete, designation of the remaining parking spaces will be determined.
To ensure enough room, a new commuter parking lot has been constructed on the site of the old Oak Street Hall on the corner of Ponder Avenue and West Oak Street. This lot will have 168 new student commuter parking spaces, available soon.
Please be mindful of any construction and refrain from entering any job site.
