Grafton Campus Parking Advisories

• Building 19 Site Parking Lot – Monday December 9, 2024
  • The new parking lot at the site of the old Building 19 is expected to open on Monday December 9, 2024. This lot is for use by the V28 class.  Students should no longer park around the research quad. The quad parking and the parking down by the Peabody Pavillion should be used by faculty, staff, and graduate students in Buildings 20 and 21, and the Peabody Pavillion. V28s may still park on Ridge Road because even with adding the new lot to the McGrath parking lot, there is not enough space for the whole class to park in those lots.
• Classroom Structure - Monday September 30, 2024 - ONGOING
  • To allow for construction, a portion of the parking area between Varis Campus Center and Large Animal Hospital will be closed. Please review the project map that shows both the parking area that will be permanently removed and the lawn area that will be temporarily impacted. Please note the traffic changes for accessing the parking lot adjacent to the construction area.  Do not park in visitor/client parking spaces.
• No Parking in Client/Visitor Spaces
  • The parking team has received several reports that our community members are parking in spaces designated for visitors and clients. As a reminder, parking in visitor/client parking areas is prohibited. These spaces need to be available for clients to access our facilities and services. There will be increased parking enforcement activity to monitor the situation. Violators may be subject to ticket and/or towing at their expense.
