Due to current project enhancements on campus, there are two parking changes for this spring semester.
When Sanderson Hall was demolished several years ago, the area was turned into a temporary parking lot. That area is now the construction site for a new residence hall - Commonwealth Hall. Therefore, this lot is no longer available for parking.
Last fall in Sykes parking lot (K Lot), 78 parking spots were taken off line so geothermal wells could be drilled. This area is now being returned for parking. Since more work will be done this coming summer, the area will be hard packed gravel with parking blocks to mark the appropriate parking spaces. Half of the parking spaces will be available starting Monday morning and the remaining half are expected to be available for parking on Tuesday.
Smart phone users can use the WCU Mobile Web at http://m.wcupa.edu/ and click on the Parking Icon to view the parking situation at some of our larger parking lots for open spaces. Parking is normally available in Q & R lots with free shuttle bus service to north campus.

During the 2012-13 academic year, WCU will be involved in a number of new construction projects. Some of these projects will impact the available north campus parking spaces. For example, in late August or early September 2012, construction will begin in the current F parking lot (New and Nields Streets) for a new 450 space parking garage. During this construction, 180 parking spaces in F parking lot will be unavailable. Other construction projects will also reduce north campus parking during the whole or a portion of the academic year. To mitigate the loss of north campus parking spaces the University will create some temporary parking areas. However, these new areas will not replace most of the lost north campus parking spaces. WCU Parking Services encourages all members of the university community to consider the following steps:
- Consider alternatives commuting options such as walking, biking, or taking mass transit.
- Consider establishing a ride share group.
- Consider if you really need a vehicle on campus, if not, leave your vehicle at home.
- Consider officially opting out of north campus parking by deciding to park on south campus.
