Due to several concerns being brought to Facilities attention by faculty and staff, on Monday, February 24th, the traffic pattern at the engineering quad parking lot will be modified. The area area currently allows for 2-way traffic at both entrances, but this will be changed to a one-way traffic pattern, with the East end being the entrance, and the West end being the exit. Additionally, 4 “Facilities” parking spots will be added to further reduce congestion at the entrance and exit.
