Temporary partial parking lot closure
Students, faculty and staff:
As we look forward to welcoming students back for the start of spring semester, please note that portions of the green-zoned parking lot at the northwest corner of Stadium Drive and Wings Up Way (near Southwest Hall and the Lab Science Commons Building) will be temporarily closed while facilities personnel collect soil samples for the forthcoming Advanced Construction and Manufacturing Engineering (ACME) Building.
The affected area is shown in the image below:
Crews are working to open up areas of the lot as their work progresses so that the entire lot (51 spaces) is not closed at any one time. The university hopes to complete work on this lot on or before Monday, Jan. 19, weather permitting.
Students with green-zoned parking passes impacted by this partial lot closure can also park in the red-zoned spaces directly outside the Millard Oakley STEM Center or the red-zoned gravel lot between Willow Avenue and North Whitney Avenue.
As a reminder, upon the start of the semester, the university's free shuttle service will also resume, with daily weekday service from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our campus and better serve students through construction projects like the ACME Building.
Wings Up!
What we are doing now!
Tech’s Office of Parking and Transportation, in conjunction with campus facilities staff, are actively working to expand and rezone select parking lots in order to minimize the impact on campus parking.
Campus Shuttle
We've added a new Wednesday evening stop downtown so students can enjoy local shops and restaurants. The campus shuttle route and stop locations are available in the PassioGo! app. You can also find this information in each shuttle shelter, on every shuttle bus, and on the Parking and Transportation webpage.
Visitor Parking
The process for obtaining a visitor permit has been streamlined. Campus departments can issue their visitors a Departmental Guest Invite, and guests can use their smartphone and the QR code posted at visitor parking spaces to obtain a day-use visitor permit.
Parking Garage
The initial design and review of the proposed parking garage received approval from the Board of Trustees at their December 2025 meeting. Updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
In the spring of 2024, the Student Government Association (SGA) conducted a Transportation, Parking, and Infrastructure (TPI) Fee Student Survey. It has now closed. With 32% of respondents in favor and 68% not in favor of the proposed fee restructure, the proposal detailed in the survey will not be implemented for the next term. Thank you for voicing your opinion in this poll, and we hope to use your input and to inform future parking proposals.
Future Updates
Tech is committed to keeping you updated with information you can use to minimize the impact of these changes on your daily commute. Please check back regularly to see what these changes are.
