🚧 Cedar Street Campus (555 Cedar St.) Parking Update.

Beginning Monday, Aug. 31, the front entrance parking lots (highlighted in yellow) along Cedar Street are scheduled to be under construction through Sept. 25. To accommodate the increased need for parking, the two lots will be combined to create more parking spaces. During construction, staff and visitors are asked to use the back or side parking lots.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we make these improvements! ❤️🐺
