**Correction - CONSTRUCTION ALERT - East Campus Parking Structure - East Wing Opening**Correction of link to Map

Project Description/Location:

Located on a site west of Campus Point Drive and north of Medical Center Drive North (north of Thornton Hospital and the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center) this 470,000 square foot facility will provide 1,246 parking spaces and is comprised of two connected parking structures. The east wing will have a soccer/sports field at grade level with two levels of parking (424 spaces) beneath. The west wing will be 5 levels of parking (822 spaces) with one level above grade and the remaining levels built into the canyon slope.

Immediate Developments:

It is anticipated that the East Wing of the parking structure will be available for use by staff with parking permits commencing today, September 19th, 2011. In addition, the north two lanes of Medical Center Drive North will be opened to access the Parking Structure and the south two lanes of Medical Center Drive North will be returned to two lanes of outbound traffic from the Medical Center. The section of Medical Center Drive North that is north of the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center (SCVC) will remain open for one way traffic to the new Emergency Department in the SCVC. Vehicle and pedestrian access routes to the East Wing of the Parking Structure are shown on the attached map. We look forward to opening the entire parking facility in January of 2012.
