Gridlock beyond the gridiron: what faculty and students don't know about parking at UNC

Thousands will show up for the football game this Saturday. But how many faculty and students will not show up to research, work or even study because they don’t know they can access campus parking?

The Facebook page for biology professor Mark Peifer’s research lab lit up last week when his post showed a bike rack in front of the Genome Sciences Building, closed for a Rams Club reception. The post got over 60,000 views and sparked discussion on UNC Overheard, where most seemed unaware they can ask for game day parking.

Transportation and Parking Director Cheryl Stout said faculty with weekday permits and UNC Healthcare employees can park in designated employee lots.
