PARKING & SAFETY DURING NIGHT OWLS

To improve safety, the McCain Building Parkade* across from LeMarchant Street will offer FREE parking from 11:30 p.m. until 3 a.m., Sundays through Thursdays during Night Owls.

If you’re walking or biking, consider becoming study buddies with friends or classmates who live near you, and head home together.

*The McCain Building Parkade is the main parking area for events at the Arts Centre each evening and a fee will be charged if you park there before 11:30 p.m. After 11:30 p.m., parking is free of charge until the Learning Commons and atrium closes at 3 a.m.
