Parking

Brian d oerther for u s senate issued the following announcement on Oct 16.

The University of Kentucky Board of Trustees will meet on Thursday, Oct. 17, and Friday, Oct. 18, in the Woodford Reserve Club at Kroger Field. As a result, 100 periphery (K) parking spaces will be reserved on Thursday and 50 will be reserved on Friday.

Impacted periphery (K) permit holders should consider all of their parking options, including:

Commonwealth Drive Lot:  The Commonwealth Drive Lot is located near Greg Page Apartments, just south of the new Kentucky Proud Ballpark on the opposite side of the Alumni Drive roundabout. This 108 space parking area is served by the Green Connector bus route, which will allow students to then connect to the Blue and White routes for wider access to campus.

College Way Lots:  New this year, the College Way West Lot is also an option for Periphery permit holders. This 150-space lot is located on College Way and is also served by the Green Connector Route. The 300-space College Way East Lot, located immediately across the street, is an additional option, but students will be required to cross College Way to pick up the Green Route at the Motor Pool bus stop.

Wildcat Court Lots:  The Wildcat Court lots are also an option for Periphery permit holders, but students who park in these lots will need to walk to the College Way bus stop to board the Green Connector Route.

University of Kentucky Transportation Services’ employees will be in the lot both days to help direct event attendees and periphery permit holders to parking areas.

The University of Kentucky is increasingly the first choice for students, faculty and staff to pursue their passions and their professional goals. In the last two years, Forbes has named UK among the best employers for diversity, and INSIGHT into Diversity recognized us as a Diversity Champion three years running. UK is ranked among the top 30 campuses in the nation for LGBTQ* inclusion and safety. UK has been judged a “Great College to Work for" two years in a row, and UK is among only 22 universities in the country on Forbes' list of "America's Best Employers."  We are ranked among the top 10 percent of public institutions for research expenditures — a tangible symbol of our breadth and depth as a university focused on discovery that changes lives and communities. And our patients know and appreciate the fact that UK HealthCare has been named the state’s top hospital for four straight years. Accolades and honors are great. But they are more important for what they represent: the idea that creating a community of belonging and commitment to excellence is how we honor our mission to be not simply the University of Kentucky, but the University for Kentucky.
