Painting, construction projects
prompt parking changes
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Parking-permit holders at Purdue University should be aware
of two pending projects that will curtail parking near Mackey Arena and Lilly Hall
of Life Sciences.
Repainting of the Mackey roof will force the closing of lots northeast, east, south
and west of the arena from May 18 to Aug. 7. Some 300 spaces will be affected.
Construction south of Lilly Hall will displace about 135 parking spaces from about
mid-May through the fall of 1999. About 60 new spaces will be available after construction
is complete.
Donna Kemper, parking facilities manager, said a new 50-space lot is being built near
the Printing Services Building, west of the National Soil Erosion Laboratory, and
should be available by late May.
She said motorists who park near Lilly should consider using the lots near the soil
lab or those on either side of Harrison Street near the Service Building Annex. Residence-hall
lots also are a summer option, because the display of residence-hall permits is not enforced after May 9.
Those who park near Mackey should consider using the lot north of Cary Quadrangle
or the Northwestern Avenue Parking Garage.
Kemper also said all or parts of campus parking garages will be closed on a rotating
basis after the spring semester for cleaning, line repainting or repairs. She said
signs will be posted in the garages two weeks before they are closed.
The Grant and Wood Streets Parking Garage will be closed May 18-22, and the Marsteller
Street Parking Garage will be closed May 25-29. The Grant Street Parking Garage will
be closed one half at a time between June 1 and 12. Later in June, nighttime cleaning will be under way in the Northwestern Avenue and University Street garages.
