Eco-friendly parking garage set to open

posted December 3rd, 2009

A 1,900-space parking garage will open on campus by January, giving employees more parking options and reducing some waiting lists. The opening of Research Drive Garage by the corner of Erwin Road and Research Drive will open spaces in nearby PG-II, LaSalle Street, Hock Plaza and Circuit Drive — parking lots that are currently sold out.

The new seven-level garage, which will be considered for a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) designation, will have reserved parking spaces for low emission vehicles, as well as other eco-friendly aspects.

There is currently a waiting list for spaces in the garage. Inquiries may be made by sending e-mail to tranpark@notes.duke.edu.
