Over the summer, Central Connecticut has created a new parking system amongst commuter students, resident students, staff and faculty. Each group will be assigned colors decals for their vehicles that will correlate with their designated spaces.

Commuter students will be permitted to park in red circle zones, resident students are given green square zones and staff and faculty have access to yellow pentagon zones. The redistribution will be eliminating a number of parking spaces due to major facilities projects for the future.

“During the peak of construction, a reduction of approximately 300 parking spaces is expected. Addressing its potential impact required significant consulting and planning to develop a strategy to accommodate the needs of our campus community,” Sal Cintorino, Interim Chief Facilities Officer, stated in public statement.

The CCSU Parking Task Force and the Walker Parking Consultants have been working on the new layout for the past year, according to Cintorino. This is part one of three phases for parking during the current and future construction period.

“The Library surface parking lot will become the site for the new Engineering Building, and the Manafort Drive surface lot will be the location for the new 600-car parking garage. Once completed, these facilities will be incredible additions to our campus,” Cintorino explained.

Phase One will officially be in affect by Sept. 16

For students that have not completed registered their vehicles on campus or receive a colored parking decal please visit one of many kiosks available on campus this upcoming week.
