Facilities Management & Planning (FMP) is responsible for the co-ordination of construction on campus and may grant certain contractor’s permission to park a limited number of vehicles within a defined (fenced-off) job site. Only those vehicles designated by FMP may park within these job site areas — contractor vehicles found parked in unauthorized areas on campus will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.
