Student Center and Alumni Gym Parking Lots Closing May 17

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 30, 2015) — As part of the upcoming Student Center renovation and expansion project, the Student Center Lot and the Alumni Gym Lot (~220 total spaces) will permanently close on Sunday, May 17.

Employees who currently park in the Student Center or Alumni Gym Lots are advised to park in either the nearby South Limestone Garage (PS #5) or the Coliseum Lot, located behind the Joe Craft Center. Employees with valid E permits may park in any parking lot designated as an E Lot; additional options in the North Campus area include the Taylor-Dickey Lot and Scott Street Lot.  A map of these locations can be found here: www.uky.edu/pts/parking-info_parking-maps.

In the near-term, the options outlined above will provide sufficient capacity for those who had previously parked in the Student Center and Alumni Gym Lots, given the reduced campus population during the summer months.

Construction on a new ~230 space parking lot at the northeast end of Scott Street is scheduled to begin this summer, and will provide another option for employee permit holders upon completion.

Parking and Transportation Services will have staff stationed at the entrances to the Student Center and Alumni Gym lots in the days surrounding the closure of the Student Center lots to answer questions and to direct employees to appropriate parking alternatives.
