We do not have prob­ lems finding parking space at night, or during Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday,” said Johnson. To help reduce the amount of parking congestion, 200 parking spaces are to be constructed. Randall and McLoughlin lots are to be combined and enlarged. The construction work is slated to start after graduation this June, and should be completed by Fall Term of 1990. The construc­ tion work will coincide with the raisingoftwo buildings which will be located behind McLoughlin where a soccer field now lays. These two new buildings will have 389 spaces to provide for parking. With the addition of the 200 parking spaces the total number of parking spaces on the Clacka­ mas campus would be at 1,978 spaces. This figure does not in­ clude the 28 handicap parking spaces located at various places around the campus. “The highest priority should be given to construction of the 200 new parking spaces in sup­ port of the new building,” con­ cluded Johnson.
