Lot Closures – Fall Move In 2023

It’s time to move in Tigers! Parking & Transportation Services and the entire TU community welcomes our resident students back to campus. Fall Move-In will take place from 9 a.m. Wednesday, August 23 through 5 p.m. Sunday, August 27.

Here’s what you need to know about upcoming lot closures. Please plan accordingly.

Union Garage

The Union Garage will not be used for fall move-in this year as Resident Tower A is under construction. However, the garage will be available for general parking.

West Village Area

• The third level of the West Village Garage will remain open, offering access to visitors and overflow parking spaces for those moving in. Signs will be posted to direct long-term permit resident holders to the upper levels of the garage.
• Lot 1 in front of Enrollment Services will close from 5:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 18 until 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27. Please ensure all vehicles are removed during this time to avoid the need to relocate the vehicles at the owner’s expense to Pollards Towing Company. Alternate faculty/staff parking is available in the West Village Garage and the upper levels of the Union Garage. Those with mobility issues may request a Paratransit ride by calling 410-704-RIDE or emailing uride@towson.edu.
• Millennium Hall lots will not be used for fall TU move-in. As a reminder, Millennium Hall parking is restricted to those with a Millennium Hall permit. This lot is not managed by TU. Violators will be issued citations and may be towed.

Residence Tower & 10 West

• Lot 14 near the Health & Counseling Center will be closed from 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 22 through Sunday, Aug. 27
• The 10 West garage (Lot 15) will be restricted to 10 West residents for unloading only from 6 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23 through 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 27.  During this time, 10 West residents may park in the Core spaces on the upper levels of the Towsontown Garage.
