The completion of the extension to University Crescent and the commencement of residential construction is expected to occur on September 1, 2013.

Are there enough parking spaces on campus to accommodate everyone?

Based on current usage on a regular day – yes. However, pricing and location may be different and additional accommodations will need to be made for larger campus events such as Convocation.

I am a G Lot permit holder. Where will I be able to park on Burnaby campus?

The specifics will be announced shortly. We do know that over the summer semester current G Lot permit holders will be accommodated elsewhere on campus.

When will I know where my new parking space is located?

We hope to have specifics available, on this website, by the mid-April.

What if I am not a parking permit holder but normally park in Visitor Lot 1?

Visitor Lot 1 is being eliminated. You have the option to purchase a parking permit or park in one of the other visitor lots on campus. More information on visitor lots and rates is available here.

What plans does SFU have for parking services in the future?
