Hi All,

To add to Mr. Osgood’s timely announcement that will affect all of us trying to park near the Nguyen Building next week, I wanted to share the university message regarding the circus (in addition to being at DAEN student, I work in the Office of Communications & Marketing). I highlighted the areas that we’re permitted to park since lot A & K will be a — well, a circus.

The Ringling Brothers Circus will visit the EagleBank Arena from April 2 through April 18, 2016. Expect traffic & parking to be affected April 4 – 15. Please read the full announcement at:http://parking.gmu.edu/PDF2016/April2016parkingtrafficimpacts.pdf

Parking - Circus tents and fencing will occupy portions of Lot A and Lot L from Thursday, March 31 at 11pm through Monday, April 18. The areas to be closed have been marked with signs. Any vehicles left in these areas will be ticketed and towed at the owners risk and expense. The Circus will completely vacate Lot A and Lot L by Tuesday, April 19. The EagleBank Arena has worked strategically with the Circus to minimize the impact on campus. Lot K will no longer be used by the Circus, with the exception of Monday, April 4, 2016 for staging. Recent empty parking space counts indicate that fewer parking spaces will be removed from inventory than have been available on average in General area permit lots. 

Parking Services will open up the reserved roof level of the Rappahannock River Parking Deck to allow a limited number of General parking permit holders to park on a first come, first served basis Monday, April 4 through Friday, April 15, 2016. 

Levels 4 & 5 of the Shenandoah Parking Deck will also be open after 5:00pm on Wednesday, April 6, Thursday, April 7, and Thursday, April 14.
