Lot 11, near the Student Center, closed due to construction at the Tedrick Center

Today (August 15), SIU Carbondale and the SIU Foundation are preparing to begin construction of the Tedrick Welcome Center, a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a gathering place for new and prospective students, campus visitors, community members and alumni. However, as with most construction projects, there will be inconveniences for some people. Parking Lot 11, the red-sticker student commuter parking lot east of the Student Center, will remain closed until construction is completed in May 2026.

Nearby parking lots with blue stickers for employee parking include 13A (southeast of the Student Center), 47 (west of Neckers), 89 (north of the Banterra Center), 37 (south of the Engineering Building), 10 (east of the Student Services Building), and 2 (near Anthony Hall). Although employees are also permitted to park in red sticker lots, they are encouraged to use the blue spaces to make room for commuting students. Note that parking lot 13, east of the Student Center, is a metered parking lot.

Parking options with red stickers include the following lots: 48 (near the tennis courts), 89A and 52 (north and southwest of Banterra Center), 39 Red (shared parking, south of Life Science III), 4 Red (shared parking, south of Communications Building), 40 (southwest of Communications Building), 44 (north of Communications Building), 6A (north of Morris Library), 7 Red (shared parking, north of Pulliam Hall), and 77 (Forest Street, south of Whitney Street) on main campus.
