Tift Hall Parking Lot To Close October 8

 

TIFTON - The parking area in front of Tift Hall at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will be closed for the renovation of ABAC’s oldest building beginning Oct. 8.  Tift Hall was the first building occupied by students when the Second District A&M School opened on Feb. 20, 1908.

Visitors to the Enrollment Services Office and other offices in the J. Lamar Branch Student Center can now use the new visitors’ spaces in a small parking lot on the southwest side of the building.  The parking lot can be accessed by turning off Davis Road, which is located at the south end of the campus, and traveling north on Campus Road.  The Enrollment Services Office is located on the second floor of the Student Center.   

Faculty and staff who normally park in front of Tift Hall can utilize the lot between the Donaldson Dining Hall and the Carlton Center or the lot adjacent to the Health Sciences Building.  The Weltner Hall lot will be available for employees whose offices are located in that building.   

Tift Hall, Lewis Hall, Herring Hall, and the Information Center will be contained within the construction fence.  Please be careful around this construction zone as the historic Front of Campus Project begins.
