The problems with the University’s power supply caused by last Thursday night’s electrical storm will not affect any Clayton State classes.

In consultation with Public Safety and Academic Affairs, the Office of Plant Operations has decided to repair the fault in the transformer located by the Business and Health Sciences Building on Tuesday, Sept. 4 – a faculty/staff work day when no classes are scheduled. The Business and Health Sciences Building will be shut down on Sept. 4, and some of the other buildings on the east side of Swan Lake (with the exception of the Baker Center) may be without air conditioning for a period of time on Sept. 4.

Also, temporary lighting for the C and D Parking Lots is being brought in this afternoon around 5 p.m. to provide illumination for those lots until the power problem is resolved.

Due to repairs that need to be made as a result of the recent power outage, lighting to parking lots 'C' and 'D' will be out until Wednesday. Public Safety will be patrolling the area frequently.  Please take normal safety precautions when walking to any university lot, and especially during evening hours.

All members of the University community are encouraged to become familiar with the University Traffic-Parking Rules and Regulations.  These may be found on-line at the following site:  http://adminservices.clayton.edu/ps/rulesregulations2005.htm Public Safety officers have begun ticketing for violations, including curb-side parking.  Please contact the Public Safety office with any questions or concerns.

Peak class periods continue to push main campus parking lots to near capacity, however ample parking exists near Spivey Hall and Continuing Education Buildings.  Students are encouraged to allow some extra time to arrive to campus and seek parking in the Spivey Hall/Cont. Ed. areas.

8.20.07  1:20 p.m.
While a number parking areas on campus are at capacity, ample parking is still available.  Additional parking for students, employees, and campus visitors is available near Spivey Hall and Continuing Education Center Buildings.  Look for posted signs regarding these parking areas.  Students and employees are reminded to abide by parking area designations and to have a valid University Parking Permit displayed at all times.

8.13.07  “Parking Under Control”
“We’ve got the parking situation under control, we’ve always had ample parking.”
That’s what Lieutenant Rex Duke, interim director of Public Safety, wants the campus to know. Although the three current construction projects – the new School of Business building, the student housing and the Student Activities Center – have caused the University to lose some 230 parking spaces, there is still plenty of parking on campus.  “People may have to search a little bit more for parking,” says Duke. “We have a plan in place to have parking lot monitors for the first few days of school later this month.” There will also be a special website for parking and construction updates and new signage will be posted on campus to help students, faculty and staff navigate the campus and the parking lots. Dukes notes that the parking plan focuses on directing people to parking places that are open, the better to help with the campus traffic flow, and on creating some additional parking spaces by temporarily making some campus streets one-way.  “Our main concern is the traffic flow, and we think we have that under control,” he explains. “Fall semester is always hectic, so it’s going to be hectic.”
