ALERT: Library Parking Lot Construction Begins May 6th 2013

Posted on by

Please note that continuing construction to the Greenway and Charger Union will affect library parking for approximately 90 days, beginning Monday May 6th.

The west half of the parking lot and the Holmes Avenue entry will remain open during the renovation. The east half of the lot will be closed as it will become part of a new parking area created with entry from Ben Graves Drive.

The Library will be open regular hours throughout this part of the renovation, and the roundabout at the entrance will remain open for accessing the book drop or dropping off passengers.

During this renovation, library visitors may find alternate parking at the Intermodal Facility lots located at University Fitness Center, Spragins Hall, and Wilson Hall/Business Administration Building.
