Happy at least to hear some news about the parking structure, it's been a mess the last few years. They shut down most floors and did construction on it for all of the 2021-2022 school year, and then when it seemed construction was complete, they shut it down entirely in late September of the current school year.

The closure of the parking structure has put a strain on available parking. I helped with orientation today and some advisors were recommending commuters get to campus 30-40 minutes early so they can find a nearby parking spot. The only lot you're guaranteed to find a spot in is the north lot by the student center, and that can be a 15-20 minute walk depending on where your class is. Unless you get to campus before 9 am, you're unlikely to find a spot close to class.

All this comes as the price of a parking pass has increased to nearly $200 a semester. Ask any current commuter and they'll tell you that Park EMU is one of the worst things about the student experience. A nice article from the Echo covered it last November.
