Good Barn Parking Lot Closed for Summer

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 14, 2014) —The Good Barn parking lot (E/C2), located on University Drive south of the Good Barn on the University of Kentucky campus, is now closed for the duration of this summer.

The action went into effect this week in order to facilitate expansion of the lot. The newly-expanded lot will relocate 660 spaces from the Commonwealth Stadium overflow parking lot (Black Lot) as part of the South Campus FEMA Storm Water Mitigation project. This construction effort will create approximately 400 new parking spaces, designed to offset a portion of the spaces eliminated by the Commonwealth Stadium expansion and renovation project. The new lot is expected to be completed prior to the fall semester.

During the summer months, parking demand is significantly reduced, providing increased flexibility in parking alternatives. Employees who normally park in the Good Barn Lot may park in any E or R areas or the K areas at Commonwealth Stadium.
