Editor’s Note: In an effort to increase campus communication and a sense of community as Belmont grows, the Office of Communication will begin publishing “In the Den” on Monday, Aug. 20. This e-newsletter will consist of a weekly devotional, calendar of campus events for the week, announcements, messages from Human Resources, new hires, promotions, birthdays, congratulations and prayer requests. The Friday edition of “Belmont FYI” will continue to include news and photos from the week in an email and will no longer be housed here. We appreciate your patience as we strive to keep faculty and staff informed of University news.

Construction Advisory
As Belmont University’s contractors near completion of blasting for the Wedgewood Academic Center, a block of 15th Avenue South will be closed this Saturday morning as well as the weekend of Aug. 24.
Fifteenth Avenue South will be closed between Wedgewood and Acklen Avenues from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 11 so that a base for the tower crane can be lowered to the construction site. The same block will close again the morning of Friday, Aug. 24 and reopen the morning of Sunday, Aug. 26 to off load and assemble the tower crane. In the event of inclement weather or an unforeseen event, campus will be notified of the change.
Drivers should use 14th Avenue South or 12th Avenue South as the detour route.
We are working hard to complete all blasting for the Wedgewood Academic Center by the end of this week. As construction continues, all safety precautions regarding traffic, neighbors and students are still being taken. Belmont University’s construction webpage http://www.belmont.edu/community/construction/index.html continues to have the most up-to-date information on this project.
Parking Reminder
As the new school year gets underway, we want to encourage Belmont students, faculty and staff to refrain from parking on nearby streets. As a reminder, you are not permitted to park in “no parking zones” or any private business lots. This includes spaces near the Athletes House on Belmont Boulevard, Circle K, Morningside or the south side of Acklen Avenue beside the library. Metro Police will ticket and tow your vehicle if you leave your car at a business, in a no parking zone, in a residential permit-only area or anywhere that would block alleys or driveways.
The new Dickens Hall and Baskin Center garages that open this month are adding some 1,080 parking spaces to Belmont’s campus. Our Campus Security team is distributing parking rules and regulations to students and employees along with their campus parking permits, which are required for the Belmont community. As a reminder, Belmont provides students, faculty and staff free alternative transportation to and from campus—including bicycle rentals, the Music City Star rail system and Metropolitan Transit Authority buses.

Residential Parking for 2012-2013 and New Policy for Reserved Guest Parking
Dickens Hall and Baskin Center will provide more than 1,000 new parking spaces on campus when they open this fall. Allocated parking locations for residential students as well as faculty/staff and commuter students will be designated in the Parking Rules and Regulations document included with your 2012-13 campus parking permit. Locations for residential parking, discussed this spring by the University Parking Team and approved by Senior Leadership, will be as follows:
- Curb Garage – Wright/Maddox and Maple Hall (residents will only be allowed to park on levels 1-4)
- North Garage – Patton and Bear House Halls (residents will only be allowed to park on levels P3-P4)
- Baskin Center Garage – Heron, Pembroke and Hail Halls (residents will only be allowed to park on levels P3-P5)
- Hillside Area (all surface spaces, Thrailkill Garage and Dickens Garage) – Bruin Hills, Hillside, Thrailkill Hall, Dickens Hall and Kennedy Hall
As in previous years, commuter students, faculty and staff may park anywhere on campus that is not marked as reserved including on the lower levels of the garages where residential students are assigned to park if spaces are available.
Given the addition of more parking spaces in the new garages, we will be piloting a new reserved parking policy this fall. All previously designated visitor parking (spaces behind Fidelity as well as in front of Freeman, Barbara Massey and Massey Business Center) will remain. In addition, we will establish with signage a number of additional reserved visitor spots across campus:
- five spaces in the Baskin Center Garage
- 25 spaces in the Curb Garage
- All spaces located on P1 under McWhorter Hall in the North Garage
All of these spaces will be exclusively for guests’ use during the 2012-13 academic year. These spaces will be closely monitored by Campus Security for enforcement and efficiency. With the availability of these spaces, the Office of Campus Security will no longer be taking requests to reserve isolated guest parking spaces.
