Next time you go to University Park Campus, don’t try to park at Parking Structure X. You won’t find it.
PSA is gone too, and so is PSB and all the other names you remember.
But don’t worry: the parking structures are still there. Only the names have changed.
The new names reflect the locations of the facilities; they should be easier for newcomers to find and for old-timers to remember (although you may need to consult a map to find out where Royal Street is). Crews have spent the past few weeks installing new names on each of the campus parking structures; the project should be finished this week.
Tony Mazza, USC’s transportation director, said the changes were made to make it easier to use directional aids like Google Maps and Waze, and to match new signage elsewhere on campus.
Campus entrances are also getting new names, based on location instead of an easy-to-forget number.
