"This should not come as a big shock due to the fact that the garage was closed last summer as well for the same reason," Kangas said. "Last summer, we began renovations and this summer we plan on finishing them."

Philosophy senior Sarah Gillespie said she believes the change in parking won't make much of a difference to those who visit the university over the summer.

"I work on campus and take summer school, but I usually walk from my apartment which is not far from campus," Gillespie said. "There is always parking over the summer. I see empty parking lots all the time."

For this reason, Gillespie said she believes that summer is the ideal time to close the garage for repairs.

"If repairs are needed, than I don't see anything wrong with closing the garage for the time being," she said. "This is probably the best time to make changes anyway."

Kangas said the garage will be back open before the fall semester begins and that students may notice a positive change.

"The average parker may take notice that the garage is cleaner and brighter," Kangas said.
