[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/move-out.jpg” caption=”More than 3,000 students will move out of residence, including Les Prince Hall, this week. File photo.”]More than 3,000 students will move out of residence between April 21 and 27, with over 2,500 of these residents departing between Tuesday, April 24 and Friday, April 27.

As a result, the roadways near the residences in both the north and west quads will be very busy, especially between 2 and 7 p.m.

University staff who travel the roadway and/or park in Zone 2 opposite McKay Hall, the Commons Building, or Woodstock Hall or the Bates Residence circle will find these areas particularly congested.

To avoid the bustle of cars pulling in and out of the parking spots and the general increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic in this area, staff are encouraged to park in Zone 2 south or east of the tennis courts for the next few days.

Move-out parking attendants wearing orange safety vests will be working shifts in both the north and west quads starting Saturday, April 21.

These student attendants will ensure that visiting cars do not block roadways, fire lanes, or pedestrian walkways.

Pedestrians in the west quad should also note that cars will be allowed to drive to Moulton, Matthews, and Wallingford Halls along the emergency roadway north and east of Mary Keyes Residence and to stop in designated areas to load students and their belongings.

Student attendants will ensure that cars move safely in one direction only and do not block emergency vehicle access.
Parking and Security Services have assisted in the preparation of the move-out plan to ensure that the residence move-out will run smoothly.
