Ongoing Construction Means New Travel Routes and Parking
As construction continues steadily on the new recital hall on the east end of campus and the new housing complex and parking structure at the west end of campus, travel and parking changes are underway.
In the current stages of construction, the southeast section of the Fine Arts parking lot will no longer be accessible for parking, and beginning Friday, Aug. 20, vehicles will no longer be able to use Champ Drive as a through street from 400 N. to 700 N.
Those entering Champ Drive from 400 N. will still be able to travel past Family Life, Ray B. West and Old Main, ending up at the Haight Alumni House turnaround, but will no longer be able to travel through to 700 N. or Darwin Ave. This will become a dead-end street, with emergency access to campus only.
The northwest end of Champ Drive will be closed between the Taggart Student Center and the LDS Institute. The shuttle turnaround at the northwest end of the student center will still be accessible and functional, but the road and crosswalk between the two buildings will be for pedestrian use only. This area will later become part of the new housing complex, and will be converted to a pedestrian-friendly courtyard and walkway.
Just below the new housing complex, a parking structure will be built to accommodate those living in the new residences, as well as faculty and staff that are A2 permit-holders. There will also be parking for visitors who may pay by the hour. Access to the new parking structure will be available from 700 E. or near the north side of the Haight Alumni House.
