The Office of Physical Plant has declared a "Midnight Clear" for snow removal from midnight tonight through 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, February 1st, 2017.

During these times, parking is prohibited at all faculty/staff surface parking lots on campus, including Innovation Park, from midnight through 7 a.m. This restriction includes University vehicles and applies to all employee work shifts, regardless of reporting time.

DESIGNATED OVERNIGHT PARKING AREAS - FACULTY/STAFF AND DEPARTMENT VEHICLES

Departments with University vehicles, as well as any faculty or staff with vehicles remaining on campus overnight, are required to move them into one of the parking decks or designated overnight parking areas before midnight tonight.

Overnight parking for faculty, staff, and departmental vehicles will be available through 7:30 a.m. Wednesday at the following locations:

The Nittany Deck can accommodate vehicles with a maximum height of 6 feet 8 inches, while the Eisenhower and HUB decks will allow vehicles with a maximum height of 7 feet.

The east bay (the section closest to Bigler Road) on the ground floor of the East Deck is reserved for oversized vehicles that do not fit in the other garages on campus. Vehicles that normally have to remain in one of the approved surface areas because of roof racks, truck caps, etc., may be parked in this area of the East Deck.
