A primary example is' the start of construction of the new, state-of-the-art Health Sciences Library which, in keeping with the University's mission to provide academic excellence, is one of the goals of President Swygen's StraJegic Framework for Action. Unfortunately, progress and growth often require sacrifice. To make way for the construction of the Louis B. Stokes Health Sciences Library, the Annex I parking lot has been closed. Despite our best efforts at relocation, we were not able to fully compensate for a significant loss of parking spaces in our inventory. Parking at and around the University, which was already very limited, has become even more scaice. Departm:nlal and student parking allocations have been adjusted accordingly; therefore, every department will experience a decrease in parking allocations for AY 2000. In many cases it was also necessary to relocate pa1rons to more distant lots, where we are increasing lighting and security. For your convenience, we are also providing improved th shuttle bus service to the Banneker Parking lots and the Shaw/Howard Metto stop. Given • Fri, Sept.17 - Sun. Sept.
