Northwestern will begin the next phase of North Campus construction Monday, beginning construction on the new Kellogg School of Management building and opening about half of the parking spots in the new North Campus parking structure.

About 500 of the 1,152 spaces in the new garage will be available to students, faculty and visitors with parking permits beginning Monday. The additional parking spots will replace those that will be lost due to construction for the new Kellogg building which will be built on the surface parking lot located northeast of the Allen Center.

“We wanted to ensure that there would be no net loss in parking, even temporarily, when construction begins on Kellogg,” said Ron Nayler, associate vice president for facilities management, in a news release. “With the garage opening for parking, we can move forward on the Kellogg Global Hub.”

University spokesman Bob Rowley said the rest of the parking structure is expected to open this June. He added the building’s recreation aspect will be open next fall.
