Upcoming Gopher Lot Construction

An upcoming construction project at the Gopher Lot will affect parking arrangements. We will begin adding additional lanes to the Gopher Lot and merging it with Lot 2. After construction, Lot 2 will no longer exist, and all contracts for Lot 2 will be converted to Gopher Lot contracts. This will not increase contract rates. 

  • Temporary Entry and Exit Changes: From July 20 until the completion of the new lanes, entry, and exit for the Gopher Lot, Lot 2, and the University Office Plaza garage will be via the current Lot 2 entry point. 
  • Contract Parking Only: During the construction period, public parking will be suspended at this location. Only contract holders will be allowed to park. 

Action required

  • License Plate Registration: All contract holders must register their license plates as part of their contract. Register your license plate here. Unregistered license plates will be subject to citations and/or tow. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this construction period.
