Starting Nov. 25, nearly all of Parking Lot 3 at the corner of Alisal Street and Homestead Avenue on Hartnell's Main Campus will be fenced off and permanently closed to make way for construction of a new Nursing & Health Sciences Building. This will eliminate 66 student and employee parking spaces.
As crews begin work on the new building, only a small portion of Lot 3 in front of the gymnasium will remain open, and that area is designated for staff, motorcycles, 30-minute and disability parking.
The Hartnell Parking Structure, which holds more than 1,100 vehicles on three levels, will be the primary location for permit parking on the Main Campus. A section of spaces on the south end of the ground level is now designated for staff-only use.
The announcement was made Nov. 21 by Joseph Reyes, executive director of Facilities, Planning and Construction Management.
“We realize this change will require adjustment and disrupt some individual routines,” Reyes said. “But the new Nursing & Health Sciences Building will be a tremendous asset for Hartnell College and the communities we serve.”
