Parking Areas Temporarily Closing for Repaving

Lots D and K
(Click image for larger view)

In the coming weeks, Lot D will be closed for repaving for approximately 10 days. Lot D is the parking area that runs along West Road from the academic driveway to the West Dock, with access only from the academic driveway (see map). This paving project will take approximately 170 spaces offline. The following is from the Department of Parking, Transportation, and Event Services:

We have taken some steps to try to minimize this temporary inconvenience. To provide adequate parking and minimize the impacts on the campus-wide community, especially our patients and visitors, we recommend that those who are displaced from the academic lots use the following alternative parking areas:

  • Garage 3 – Levels 1 and 2, via the East Road entrance (Area 1). A ‘Garage Full’ sign will be deployed when the garage reaches capacity.
  • Garage 1 – Level 4, via the Level 6 entrance (Area 1). A ‘Garage Full’ sign will be deployed when the garage reaches capacity.
  • Cell and Genome Science Building (400 Farmington Ave.) – Area 1 or Area 3 spaces. A new direct shuttle service will run between CGSB and the academic entrance from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

After Lot D reopens, Lot K will be closed for repaving for approximately 7 days. Lot K is the parking area that is on the opposite side of the academic driveway and runs along West Road almost to the turnoff to Munson Road (see map).

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue our work to improve the grounds of the UConn Health campus.
