New commuter parking lot adds 150 new parking spaces to campus

As part of the Athletic and Wellness Center project, a new parking lot is being constructed behind Southside House. When complete, this lot will add about 250 new spaces of parking to campus -- an increase of about 10 percent. The Department of Facilities Management, with the assistance of the SUNY Construction Fund and the contractor (Losco Group) has been able to open about 150 spaces immediately, with the remainder of the spaces opening in early summer. As recommended by the campus parking committee and approved by the Cabinet, this lot is designated for use by commuter students only, with no overnight parking permitted.
