Three South Campus Parking Lots to Change Designations in August

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 30, 2014) — As the start of the 2014-2015 academic year approaches, University of Kentucky Parking and Transportation Services will be changing the designations of some parking areas to best meet the needs of campus. 

The Prall Street Lot, located at the corner of Prall Street and South Limestone, is no longer managed by Central Parking as a visitor pay lot. This lot is now a University of Kentucky employee (E) parking lot, and has 10 three-hour parking meters to accommodate short-term visitor parking needs.

Starting in fall 2014, the Sports Center Garage (PS #7) and the large Sports Center Drive lot will change permit designations. The Sports Center Garage will continue to accommodate hourly pay visitor parking, but will otherwise transition to residential (R7) parking. The Sports Center Drive lot adjacent to Cliff Hagan Stadium will change from residential (R3) parking to employee (E) parking.

On Friday, August 15, the parking lot immediately adjacent to the Oswald Building – the Green Lot – will transition from a commuter (C6) parking lot to a mixed-use employee (E) and commuter (C6) parking lot. The lot will no longer have separately designated E spots as it has in the past. The metered spaces will remain in the lot. 

The Commonwealth Stadium E-Red lot located on the corner of Cooper and University Drives will transition to K parking.  As of July 1, 2014, employee (E) permits, in addition to K permits, and any valid student commuter (C) and resident (R) permit, are now authorized to park in any Commonwealth Stadium K Lots, allowing the user more flexibility if their desired parking area is at capacity. This will include the Greg Page Overflow Lot and the Soccer/Softball Complex Lots.
