Ithaca College

On Thursday, March 19th, the College will be holding its 25th Educational Technology Day.  This exciting event attracts over 800 visitors to our campus to explore new technologies and learn more about how technology can be used both in and out of the classroom.  We are asking that students, staff, and faculty please be aware of the parking impact of Ed Tech Day on both the event date and the preceding Wednesday, as described below.  

In order to accommodate set-up efforts, vendor vehicles, and guest parking the U-Lot and M-Lot will be dedicated exclusively to this event for extended periods of time.  U-Lot will be closed starting at 1 PM on Wednesday, March 18th and will remain closed through 5 PM on Thursday, March 19th.  M-Lot will be closed from 4 AM to 5 PM on Thursday, March 19th.  Additionally, while they will not be closed, the Z-Lot and the S-Lot Extension also will be utilized by event guests, so please anticipate reduced parking availability in those lots.

We ask that you please plan on using alternative lots such as the Y-Lot during the times cited above.  We also encourage you to take advantage of your TCAT bus pass and ride the bus to campus on Thursday.  Please be aware that individuals requiring handicapped parking spaces in any reserved lot can continue to access those spaces by speaking directly with lot attendants. 

Ed Tech Day is an important event for the campus, and outside of some athletic events and Commencement it is arguably the largest public showcase event that we hold.  The College benefits in many ways from this exposure, and we deeply appreciate your understanding and adjustment of your parking plans to help this event succeed.  We also hope that you take advantage of this great free event!  Please visit www.ithaca.edu/edtechday for the complete schedule and details.
