Student parking will be available on the third and fourth floors and all student spots will be marked with an “S,” according to the email. Faculty parking will be located on the first and second floor and will be be marked with an “F” while the fifth and sixth floor will be marked with an “R” for residence hall parking.

When construction on PS5 began, some student spots in PS1 and PS2 went to faculty and those will be restored according to the email.

The structure was originally set to open to begin the spring 2018 semester before being delayed until March and then May 8.
