Webster Groves Campus Parkers: Rejoice! The Garage Extension is Open!

The new parking garage extension is open for faculty, staff, student and visitor parking. Currently in the new section, parking is available on the second, third, and fourth levels. The first floor area will become available soon once construction crews remove equipment and other items.

The garage addition is a welcome addition to the Webster Groves campus and community. It, along with the upcoming completion of the Interdisciplinary Science Building, reflects the University’s ongoing implementation of its master plan, which helps move the heart of activity away from the Lockwood to the interior of the campus.
