NEW PARKING PLAN IN PLACE FOR CONSTANT CONVOCATION CENTER

As new parking plans are implemented for the new Ted Constant Convocation Center, Old Dominion University officials are working to minimize the impact on campus parking as much as possible.

"Event parkers" will be directed to the new parking deck, lots east of Hampton Boulevard and the two major lots on campus (lot 27 in front of the Field House and the parking deck at 43rd Street and Elkhorn Avenue), said Don Runyon, assistant vice president for auxiliary services.

"Although we realize these changes will be inconvenient for some of our university community members, we appreciate their patience and suggestions on how to improve these plans," Runyon said.

On event days, the Constant Convocation Center parking deck at 41st Street and Hampton Boulevard will have signs posted and the first two levels will be blocked at 7 a.m. to reserve for big Blue Club parkers and for special guests and visitors. Upper levels will be available for all parkers on event days, but restricted to "exit only" after 3 p.m.

Lot 17 at 46th and Hampton will have a limited number of parking spaces reserved on event days to accommodate loading crews for events. At 3 p.m., this lot will become "exit only" and reserved for vehicles with special parking passes for events at the Constant Center.
