As the summer approaches and our faculty and staff take time away from the college, we want to provide the Humber community with an update on new and ongoing parking projects, as part of our campus development efforts. Thank you to the Capital Development and Facilities Management team for managing the many large-scale projects. And, as work will continue through the summer and into the academic year, we’d also like to thank you for your patience and cooperation as the infrastructure work is completed.

Parking Garage – North Campus
We are completing our 1,000 space multi-deck parking structure with solar array, 16 spaces for electrical vehicle charging and dedicated car pool spaces. The garage, which will offer both retail and office space, is on schedule for completion in August 2018. The solar panels will generate enough energy to make the CTI a net-zero building.

Parking Lots 1 and 13 – North Campus – Parking Permits and Payment
As a result of the parking garage, the security control booths along Arboretum road will be removed. In turn, the entrance/exits to parking lots 1, 3 and 13 will be redesigned and gated parking controls with card reader access will be installed as of August 30.

What this means for employees:

• All full-time employees who park in Lot 1 or 13 will have their staff ID card automatically activated for the card reader.
• Lot 1 & 13 will be for full-time staff and student permit holder parking only
• If you pay for your parking via payroll deduction, no action is required on your part.
• If you do not pay for your full-time staff parking via payroll deduction or you are a part-time staff who pays for the additional upgrade each semester, your staff ID card will be activated for access after you purchase your parking permit for the fall semester. 
• If you do not have a staff ID card, you will need to get one before September 2018 as this card will be your parking access card. Please visit NX210 to get a staff ID card.

Widening of Arboretum Road – North Campus
Arboretum Road will be widened between Spruce Vista and the driveway to the new parking garage in order to improve traffic flow. A portion of Arboretum Road will be paved between the new parking garage and the residence buildings. This work will take place in August 2018.

Parking Lot – Lakeshore Campus (future project)
A 350-car surface parking lot will be developed on land purchased at 170 Birmingham Street and Eighth, with shuttles running from the lot to various buildings across Lakeshore Campus.

Please note that effective Tuesday, July 3, Testing Services will begin summer hours at the North Campus:

The Lakeshore Campus will remain open 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, May through August.

For the most up to date hours of operation, including closures, please visit: humber.ca/student-life/testing-services

Summer Hours will be in effect at the Lakeshore and North Campus until Friday, September 7, resuming regular semester hours on Monday, September 10.

Wishing faculty and staff a lovely summer!
