** Parking Lot Closing **

Construction Alert: Parking Lot 4 Will Close Feb. 11 through Fall 2012

Parking Lot 4, which is adjacent to the Krause Center for Innovation and campus observatory, will close Feb. 11 and remain closed through Fall 2012. The lot will be unavailable for general parking for the next 20 months. Expect on-campus traffic delays as the campus community adjusts to the closure and give yourself extra time to locate parking and get to class starting mid-February. In addition, consider carpooling to reduce parking frustration and maximize the parking spaces that are available. To help, Foothill has teamed up with Zimride.com to offer an innovative ridesharing option. Learn more.

The closure of Lot 4 is part of the first phase of construction of the new Physical Sciences & Engineering Complex (PSEC), which is being built where the former Veterinary Technology and Environmental Horticulture buildings once stood. College leaders expect the new building to open in Winter 2013.

Walk-in access to the Lot 4-adjacent sports fields will be available during construction activities. Although general parking will not be available in this lot during construction, 52 reserved parking stalls for the KCI, and two reserved stalls for the Print Shop will remain. Print Shop parking is limited to 20 minutes. The KCI lot will be available by permit (available from the KCI). Parking within the lot will change based on the phasing of construction and will be posted online at www.foothill.edu/news/construction.php
