Construction projects impacting parking lots have required changes to parking assignments throughout the west campus. While any change to parking is hard, these construction projects will have a long-term benefit for our patients, faculty, staff, and students.
Most reassignments began the end of May 2023 when the Hawkeye Ramp project and the Health Sciences Academic Building began construction. Permit holders were reassigned based upon seniority to nearby parking.

FAQ permit reassignment and construction
Construction
When will the Hawkeye Ramp be complete?
The project is expected to be completed in 2025 barring any unforeseen delays.
What has the university done to create more parking?
We have expanded Parking Lot 48, Myrtle, and Parking Lot 73, University Club. These additions added 350 parking spaces. We also created a new lot – Parking Lot 53, Melrose Court – which added 145 new spaces.

Parking waitlist
When will the Parking Lot 53, Melrose Court waitlist open?
Parking Lot 53 was constructed to help reduce the impacts to permit holders reassigned due to the Hawkeye Ramp Project. Offers are currently being made to employees that were reassigned by seniority date. We are still evaluating when a regular waitlist can be made available for employees to add themselves.
What happens if I accept a waitlist offer for another location if I have been reassigned?
If due to construction you are currently reassigned to a more distant parking location, accepting a waitlist offer for closer parking will end your reassignment.
If the lot offered is your pre-construction location and you decline or let the offer expire, then you will have to rejoin the waitlist. You will remain in your reassigned location another offer is sent to you.
Permit reassignment
When will my reassignment end?
As space becomes available and based upon your seniority, you will be sent a waitlist offer to return to your previous parking lot.
Due to unexpected parking availability and additional parking we've added, we have began making offers to return and many permit holders reassignments have ended.
My co-worker was able to go back to their original lot, when do I get to move back?
Reassigned permit holders will be prioritized for waitlist offers back to their previous parking lot based upon their seniority. Once all reassigned permit holders have been offered a return, then regular waitlist offers will resume.
