Parking Lot A Expansion

Soon, you will begin to hear the sound of backhoes and cement trucks. This is the exciting and long-anticipated sound of parking expansion! It is no secret that our campus has had a deficit in parking space. With overflow parking housed at the Hood Center, having students, faculty and staff shuttled back and forth during peak times has not been an easy process. I want to thank you all for your cooperation and patience. I’m happy to say, the wait is almost over!

J.E. Dunn Construction Company will begin work on Monday morning, April 4. We anticipate the project will be substantially complete on July 3, with final completion scheduled for August 2, just in time for our fall 2011 students.

The new parking lot, containing an additional 165 parking spaces, will be located on the south end of the main campus, where the Lineworker Program was formerly located. The Lineworker Program has been moved to the Heavy Equipment Operations site in Chester County. I am proud of our College personnel and the students who pitched in to make this move happen smoothly and in less than four weeks. That was quite an accomplishment.

As can be expected with any construction project, traffic and pedestrian flow may need to be rerouted at various times. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. As we begin new construction projects in the future, some parking will be used for those facilities. The goal will be to plan for additional parking as we build.
