Completed Nittany Parking
Deck
addition open for business 
The new sections of the Nittany Parking Deck on the University Park campus opened Jan. 8. The opening of the renovated deck means some changes for those using the facility:
* The entry will revert back to the west side of the deck, nearest to The Nittany Lion Inn. The exit will remain on the east (Moore Building) side of the facility.
* Traffic patterns within the structure now are one-way only. This is a change from the old two-way traffic pattern.
*
Due to weather
conditions and construction timing, the old section of the deck will remain
with 90-degree, head-in parking. The new sections have been striped off
for angled, head-in parking with the angle in the direction of traffic
(similar to the Eisenhower Deck). The old section of the deck will be
re-striped to reflect the angled parking during spring break or whenever
the ambient temperatures allow paint to adhere properly.
* From 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, the Nittany Deck use is prioritized as follows: Green B permit holders; any-area permit holders; guests of The Nittany Lion Inn; and other visitors as space allows. The Nittany Deck is not intended for use by current students.
* From 4 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. the next business day, other permit-holders, including student permit-holders, may use the facility.
* Visitors
may use the deck at a rate of 75 cents per hour on a space-available basis.
At this time, the Parking Office is investigating more sophisticated gate control systems to allow for more comfortable use by Green B permit holders and to ensure that the facility is available to its intended users at all times. It is anticipated that the new gate and access control equipment will be installed this spring.
