Parking will continue to be a challenge for autumn quarter. Like most community colleges around the nation, Columbus State once again faces record enrollment. While we have thousands more students than a few years ago, the number of parking spaces has not increased.
WHAT COLUMBUS STATE IS DOING
As the number of students has grown, the college has added new sections of popular courses. However, we have capped the number of sections being offered during peak times (Monday -- Thursday from 10:00 a.m. -- 2:00 p.m.)
An overflow parking lot has been added at Fort Hayes High School. The lot is about an eight minute walk to campus.
Two new parking areas are under construction. One is behind the Child Development Center at the corner of Grant Avenue and Grove Street. This could be ready before the end of September.
Another lot is under construction next to the parking garage. It will be ready later in the quarter. Together, these two lots will add about 150 parking spaces. Even when they open, parking will remain tight during peak times.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
First and foremost, consider taking the bus or hitching a ride. Both options allow you to be dropped off at the front of campus and you won't have to spend time searching for a parking space.
Arrive Early. Some students (and staff) report having to spend 15 minutes or more trying to find a parking space.
Look at the lots that are the farthest from campus first (50 S, Fort Hayes High School). They often fill up last and may provide a spot with no hassle for early arrivals.
Follow us on Twitter. A special Twitter account has been set up: cscc_parking. If you follow that on your mobile device, we will be providing real-time updates from 9:00 a.m. -- noon on Wednesday and Thursday during the first week of classes, and Monday through Thursday during week two (Friday's are generally less crowded which provides more parking spaces).
Print out maps that show where various student parking lots are located and keep it in our vehicle. Any lot with an "S" is reserved for students.
