Parking update: New residence hall construction
April 24, 2025
On or around June 24, 2025, construction will begin on the new residence hall located on the current South Campus Residential Lot (X Lot). As part of this project, the X Lot will permanently close, and approximately 100 parking spaces in the Theater (T) Lot will also be taken offline.
To accommodate these changes:
- All employees, students, and campus visitors should allow extra time when commuting to campus over the next 24 months, as parking availability will shift and traffic patterns may be affected.
- X Lot permit holders will be reassigned to J Lot, located off Angleside Road near the Charles River Apartments.
- For faculty, staff, and commuters, overflow from the T Lot will be redirected to other existing lots across campus, such as the North and Tower lots, which remain heavily underutilized.
- Admissions parking will remain available exclusively for prospective students and their families and will be strictly enforced.
- To maintain safety and accessibility, unauthorized parking in fire lanes, roadways, or unmarked areas will be actively addressed by Public Safety.
The Housing Phase One project team, in coordination with Public Safety, is finalizing additional logistics and will provide updates through InBrief in the coming weeks.
If you have questions regarding these changes, please contact the Brandeis Parking Office at 781-736-4250 or visit the new residence hall project website at www.brandeis.edu/new-residence-hall.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we continue to invest in the future of our campus.
