UNR Parking news and updates
Effective April 14, 2008, the lower campus Silver #8 parking lot will be closed to begin construction of the Davidson Mathematics and Science Center. All Silver 8 lower campus eastside parking around Fleischmann Agriculture, Palmer Engineering, Paul Laxalt Mineral Engineering, Scrugham Engineering/Mines, Chemistry Building, Leifson Physics, Harry Reid Engineering Lab and the Central Heat Plant will be closed except for disabled parking.
All faculty, staff and students that have Silver #8 parking permits will need to park in the Whalen Parking Complex using your Silver #8 permit. If you currently purchase your permit via payroll deduction, you will automatically receive a Silver #11 permit (Whalen Parking Complex) for the 2008-09 school year. If you pay via other methods, you will receive a renewal notice with the option to purchase a Silver #11 permit.
The East Campus Shuttle Service will operate in ten minute intervals, beginning this fall semester. If you would rather park at the Baseball Field and shuttle to lower campus instead of parking at the Whalen Parking Complex, please contact the Parking Department at 784-4654 to let them know this preference so that they can renew your permit for the green zone for the next year.
Disabled Parking
Existing disabled parking north of Scrugham Engineering/Mines and south of the Chemistry building will remain open. New disabled parking will be created at the southeast corner of Palmer Engineering and the meters south of Fleischmann Agriculture.
