DEBATE08 CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS & LOGISTICS

Media Tent Construction to Impact Parking, Tennis Courts
Most of the credentialed media covering the debate will be stationed in the Media Filing Center, a temporary 25,000 square foot facility that will be built on the Belmont soccer field prior to the event. Construction of this facility will begin on Mon., Sept. 8. Due to the construction, beginning Fri., Sept. 5, all cars parked in spaces around the soccer field must be moved to other areas on campus. The areas that will need to be cleared for the media tent are Acklen Avenue, E. Belmont Circle, and the spaces on soccer field drive facing the soccer field. Additional parking is available at the Thrailkill parking garage during business hours as well as the gravel lot on 12th Avenue. We’d also like to remind everyone of both the free bus (MTA) and train (RTA) services for commuting to campus as well as Belmont’s new partnership with Zipcar. In addition, in order to protect the safety of the campus community and those working on the construction, the Belmont tennis courts will be closed beginning on Monday.
