Announcements

Impacts to Lot 5: May 1, 2025 onwards 

As the G-Wing renovation project continues, parking Lot 5 will be impacted starting May 1 until the completion of the project, planned for Fall 2026. There will be more daily activity due to equipment and materials required to support the work. Construction laydown will occupy space at the back of the lot. 

In addition, the first lane of Lot 5 (closest to the EA building) will be blocked off to accommodate a safe pick-up and drop-off zone for MRU Camps starting June 30.

Although this affects the total number of stalls available, Lot 5 is not currently at capacity. Through a reduction in permit allotments, we have ensured enough parking spots will be available to accommodate permit holders.

We recognize that these additional activities will increase congestion in the lot. Effective May 1, Lot 5 permit holders are welcome to park in Residence Lot 6 across from the Riddell Library and Learning Centre, or in Lot 6A in front of the library until Aug. 29. Permits will be recognized in these lots and no action is required by the permit holder.

Starting May 1 until August 31, all permits will be valid in any surface lot on campus. Parking in the parkades will still require a parkade specific permit.

 

Parking unavailable in Lots 1 & 4: June 16  July 11

Parking will be unavailable in Lots 1 and 4 beginning June 16th due to parking lot resurfacing. Permit holders for these lots can park in any other surface lot on campus during the affected period. Resurfacing is scheduled to be completed by July 11th.

 

Parking lot improvements: June 23  July 6

With convocation completed, we have begun improvements to parking lots around campus. Projects will be taking place around campus between June 23 and July 6. This will include repairing large potholes at various locations, adding a sidewalk leading into Lot B and adding an accessible sidewalk from Lot 4 leading towards Wyckham House. Please drive with caution during this time.

 


Parking Bylaws

The Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta (“PSLA”) gives the Board of Governors the authority to make parking and traffic bylaws to facilitate the orderly conduct of parking and parking services while on University Property. Parking regulations are detailed in the Mount Royal University Parking and Fines Bylaw.
