New garage gets 180 more spaces By GORDON MANTLER Assistant News Editor One-hundred-eighty more parking spaces will be added to the new parking garage, a board of trustees committee recommended Wednesday. The accepted bid, by McCrory Construction, came under the university's allowed budget for the garage, located at Pickens, Henderson and Senate streets, enabling the Building and Grounds Committee to approve an additional level. The total amount of spaces available for students and faculty will be 777, an increase from 587. "The economy was the main reason the bids were low," Charlie Jeffcoat, a committee member said. The garage is expected to be completed by Aug. 24, 1992, in time for the beginning of the fall semester. "We're on a very tight schedule," said Bill Baker, director of Parking and Vehicle Registration Services. Construction started in the commuter lot and will move to the regular lot by Monday.
