Update on parking on Memorial’s St. John’s campus

By Michelle Osmond | July 14, 2015

Recently, 370 parking spaces from parking lots 16 and 16A were closed for site preparation for the core science facility. 

The construction of three new parking lots on the south side of campus is scheduled to be complete in the early fall. This will provide Memorial with 258 replacement parking spaces. The priority is to relocate displaced permit holders while attempting to accommodate new permit holders.

Parking is limited on the St. John’s campus. Please consider alternative ways to travel to work such as public transit or carpooling which would help alleviate some of the parking issues on campus.

If you do require parking on campus, please note the following parking regulations: 

  • Each faculty and staff member can apply for one permit. There will be no second area permits. However, if you have a second vehicle you may register two cars with a laminated permit which can be moved from one vehicle to another.
  • As of Sept. 1, all areas permit requests will be limited and decided on a case-by-case basis.
  • If your department is planning a conference or special occasion on campus that requires parking, evening permits are available. There are also coin access lots around campus that can be accessed during the evening. If the event is scheduled for the daytime, please use pay and display or meter parking.
  • If you are an employee and have special needs and require accommodation, please contact Memorial’s occupational health nurse at 709-864-3568 or natalie.decker@mun.ca.
  • If you are a student with special needs, please contact the Glenn Roy Blundon Centre for Students with Disabilities at www.mun.ca/blundon or 709-864-2156.
  • There will be a random draw for parking permits for students living off campus on Aug. 21, 2015. Please visit the parking channel on my.mun.ca to register.
  • For retired faculty and staff, the parking office in the Facilities Management building (FM-1018) will issue daily permits as space permits for visits to campus.
  • St. Augustine's Anglican Church parking lot is being renovated during the summer months. It will reopen no later than Sept. 1 as a pay and display parking lot under external management. In addition, there are pay and display lots on the north side of campus in both parking garages as well as the Arts and Culture Centre beginning in September.
  • If you are a contractor or service provider who requires parking on campus, please visit the parking office in the Facilities Management building, FM-1018.
  • Please visit www.mun.ca/cep/parking/SJ_Campus_Parking_Map.pdf to view a map of parking on the St. John’s campus.

Several departments are involved in a parking plan for the St. John’s campus in addition to an independent study of commuting and parking strategies which is currently underway. More information will be released as it becomes available.
