LUBBOCK – Texas Tech students who park in the Town and Country parking lot at Fourth Street and University Avenue or on the dirt areas along Brownfield Highway on the north side of the campus must find new parking places beginning Monday (May 16).

Construction of the Marsha Sharp Freeway will close the areas to parking. Cars parked in those areas are likely to be towed. Parking will remain for customers of the Hastings store.

The Town and Country lot has been used in recent months as a satellite lot for Texas Tech student parking. No satellite permits will be sold for the summer terms. Students purchasing commuter parking stickers for the summer term may park in any commuter lots or in residence hall parking areas.

In the fall, a new 1,500 space satellite parking lot located southwest of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center will replace the satellite parking in the Town and Country lot. The lot will be served by regular bus service through the campus. After 3 p.m., students with permits for this lot may park in any commuter lot.

Also for the fall semester, students may purchase commuter parking stickers for lots on the north and west sides of the campus.

More information on parking for both summer sessions and the fall semester is available on the Office of Traffic and Parking’s Web site at www.parking.ttu.edu.
