Summer Construction Improves Parking and Roads

This summer, construction has begun for the improvement of roads and parking areas at the University of Houston.

�Our summer parking lot and campus road maintenance project is underway,� said Bob Browand, Director of Parking and Transportation. This year�s work includes about 100,000SF of asphalt repair, 12,000SF of concrete replacement, and 10,000SF of seal coating and stripping.�

Browand explained that the parking lot repair would not interrupt daily parking operations, but that the street repair, involving concrete replacement, would cause temporary disruptions to traffic on UH Entrances 1, 14, and 19.

The traffic disruptions will be temporary, and the construction should be completed before the start of summer sessions.


Other projects which are planned for the summer months include reconfiguring of the parking equipment at the Welcome Center Garage and rewiring of the parking equipment and intercom system at the East Garage.

�As for the Welcome Center Garage equipment re-configuration, we are planning to divide the garage into three areas, explained Browand. �The first floor will be restricted to faculty/staff with its entrance off of UH Entrance 4 and the exit being via Calhoun Road. The second floor will be reserved for visitor parking and the third to the fifth floor reserved for students.�
