UT To Begin Construction Of New Parking Garage to Support Growth

TAMPA, FL — In an effort to support enrollment growth, as well as occupants of new campus facilities, The University of Tampa announced the construction of a new 437-space parking garage on the west side of campus.

Located west of North Boulevard, between the Naimoli Family Athletic and Intramural Complex and the Naimoli Family Softball Complex, the standalone, six-story garage will be constructed on the existing North Gilchrist Avenue.

Due to its proximity to North Delaware Avenue, which runs north toward the garage from Kennedy Boulevard, the garage will be officially named Delaware Avenue Garage. It will support students, faculty, staff and visitors of the nearby athletic facilities, the new Ferman Center for the Arts and the new Science Research Laboratories. Specific parking policies will be announced at a later date.

The garage will include significant landscaping and sidewalks for access. It will also include four electric vehicle recharging stations and secure covered storage for more than 150 bicycles.

Construction of the garage will start immediately and is scheduled to be completed by October 2021. Construction of the garage will be paid for through bond proceeds.

The Beck Group has been named to design and build the new structure.

The University of Tampa is a private, comprehensive university located on 110 acres on the riverfront in downtown Tampa.
