In order for the snow crew to properly clean the "No Overnight Parking" lots, the lots need to be empty at night. Even if a couple of cars are left in the lots, the plow trucks have a very difficult time maneuvering around them and usually end up leaving snow next to the parked cars, which limits the number of usable parking spots. If the lot is empty, the snow can be pushed to the end of the lot and then pushed up on the lawn. This also aids in drainage when the snow begins to melt.
Please click on the Whitworth Public Parking Areas map to view the red and green designated parking areas on campus. The red lots are the “No Overnight Parking” lots. These lots have signs, usually at the entry points to each lot, which state “No Overnight Parking.” The No Overnight Parking lots are designated as such because the majority of the people parking in these lots are users that come during the day and leave at night. The designated green lots on the map allow 24-hour parking and are used primarily by residents who live on campus.
We also have designated parking areas for cars that remain on campus during Christmas and Spring Breaks. Anyone wishing to leave a car on campus during these times needs to call Campus Security at 777.4444 for information on the best place to park.
Thank you for your cooperation with our parking designations.
