Temporary partial closure of Golden Eagle Circle
Students, faculty and staff:
Please be advised that part of Golden Eagle Circle, stretching from the Dixie Avenue entrance to the edge of North Hall (shown in the image above), will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning Thursday, Sept. 17 to allow for repairs to an underground steam line. Pedestrian walkways will not be affected by the closure.
During this time, vehicles accessing the purple-zoned parking lot behind North Hall and Jobe and Murphy Halls must enter via the lot entrance located north of Jobe and Murphy Halls along Dixie Avenue. Three exit points from the lot will remain available throughout the road closure.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to complete these necessary repairs as quickly as possible.
Parking and traffic pattern changes for ACME construction
Students, faculty and staff:
At the end of June, we reached out to let campus know of upcoming parking and traffic pattern changes near the site of the future Advanced Construction and Manufacturing Engineering (ACME) Building.
While inclement weather temporarily delayed some of these changes, please be advised that the parking closures originally slated to begin June 29 will now take effect June 16, 2026.
Please ensure that all vehicles are cleared from the shaded area in the above image by June 16, 2026.
Beginning tomorrow, a portion of the red-zoned parking lot near the Millard Oakley
STEM Center and the green-zoned parking lot bound by Lab Science Commons, Evins Hall
and Southwest Hall will close until fall 2028.
Additionally, the small portion of Wings Up Way near Stadium Drive (shown in the image
above) will be closed to vehicular traffic. A pedestrian pathway will be established
to allow unobstructed access to the Marc L. Burnett Student Recreation & Fitness Center.
Capital Projects will keep roughly half of the STEM Center parking lot open throughout construction, with a one-way entrance and exit traffic pattern.
Thank you for your understanding as we make these improvements to campus.
Wings Up!
What we are doing now!
Tech’s Office of Parking and Transportation, in conjunction with campus facilities staff, are actively working to expand and rezone select parking lots in order to minimize the impact on campus parking.
Campus Shuttle
We've added a new Wednesday evening stop downtown so students can enjoy local shops and restaurants. The campus shuttle route and stop locations are available in the PassioGo! app. You can also find this information in each shuttle shelter, on every shuttle bus, and on the Parking and Transportation webpage.
Visitor Parking
The process for obtaining a visitor permit has been streamlined. Campus departments can issue their visitors a Departmental Guest Invite, and guests can use their smartphone and the QR code posted at visitor parking spaces to obtain a day-use visitor permit.
Parking Garage
The initial design and review of the proposed parking garage received approval from the Board of Trustees at their December 2025 meeting. Updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
In the spring of 2024, the Student Government Association (SGA) conducted a Transportation, Parking, and Infrastructure (TPI) Fee Student Survey. It has now closed. With 32% of respondents in favor and 68% not in favor of the proposed fee restructure, the proposal detailed in the survey will not be implemented for the next term. Thank you for voicing your opinion in this poll, and we hope to use your input and to inform future parking proposals.
Future Updates
Tech is committed to keeping you updated with information you can use to minimize the impact of these changes on your daily commute. Please check back regularly to see what these changes are.
