(Dec. 6, 2021) The Vulcan Parking Garage at California University of Pennsylvania reopened on Monday after being closed for more than five years when a large chunk of concrete fell on move-in day, Aug. 26, 2016.

According to an article that appears in the Observer-Reporter website, Dec. 4, Fawn Petrosky, vice president for finance, said that the garage has been under repair since the fall of 2020.

“Those repairs have been completed, and the facility has been inspected, tested and deemed safe for use,” Petrosky said.

The five-story garage – also known as Lot 22 in Cal U.’s managed parking system – was scheduled to reopen Monday, Dec. 6, with new “pay in lane” stations that accept credit cards and a cash pay station on the third floor, according to the published report.

A limited number of student parking permits will be available, and students may place their names on a wait-list to reserve a spot. Faculty and staff also may apply to park in the facility. The garage has about 660 spots, some of which are set aside for campus visitors.
