West Circle Workaround

With faculty returning to campus next week, traffic will intensify as usual, and potentially be exacerbated by the and on SR-22/7th Street. Moreover, when students return on August 28, congestion on Atherton Street will increase greatly. Several resources are available to assist you with entering and parking on campus.

The Los Coyotes and West Loop Shuttles will experience detours around the West Campus Circle during construction operations. In addition, an Express Shuttle will begin service on August 21 to help expedite shuttle passengers to/from south campus. Learn more at our shuttle webpage.

Employee "workaround" routes have been developed to suggest the most efficient routes depending on how you approach campus and your desired employee lot.

Innovative Financing Model

Curious about how the solar panels in parking lots 7 and 14 were funded?
