G01 Parking Lot Construction Update

Reconstruction of the G01 parking lot closest to the Pond Student Union at Idaho State University will continue through the summer. Beginning May 6, the entire parking lot will be closed.

The reconstruction of the G01 lot will improve lighting, signage and safety in one of the most utilized parking areas on campus, along with creating an opportunity to beautify the parking lot and surrounding areas. The total lot capacity will grow by 12 parking spaces with the redesign, offering a total of 559 spots, up from 547 previously. The new parking capacity includes a new parking area near the Fine Arts Building and spaces near the Early Learning Center that had not previously been designated for general parking. An updated map, providing an overview of the new lot design, is available to view on the project website.

The newly designed parking lot project has required the removal of old trees, most of which were dying and creating hazards for the campus community. In response, ISU will be planting 85 new trees around the new lot and in other areas of campus. 

The reconstruction of this parking lot is being paid for by deferred maintenance funds from the State of Idaho. No University reserves are being used on this project.

Visitor parking will be available in designated areas during each phase of construction. For those who hold a general ISU parking permit, alternative parking is available at the following lots:

• G03: on 4th Avenue and E. Terry Street
• ICCU Dome General Parking Lots (no permit required in the north corner, close to the park)
• Reed Gym General Parking Lots

Individuals may also park at the PRT bus locations within ISU’s campus, and ride for no charge to the SUB. View the campus stops map.

Pick up/drop off for the Early Learning Center will be at the ELC Circle, the small parking lot directly next to the ELC playground. This area will also be available for the Idaho Museum of Natural History, ADA spots, and 20 minute temporary parking. 

As this is an evolving project, additional information, including closure updates will be shared as they become available at the G01 parking lot reconstruction webpage.
