Welcome Center takes over parking duties

News Brief:

As of March 2, Central Washington University’s recently opened Welcome Center will begin handling all services previously available through Central’s parking kiosk.  A grand opening celebration is being scheduled for April 22 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. 

The kiosk, located between Anderson and Walnut streets near Munson Hall, served as hub for incoming students and their parents seeking campus information. 

The Welcome Center, located at University Way and Pearl Street, will now handle everything from daily parking passes, campus maps and a meeting point for campus tours.  Tickets for campus events and Internet access will also be available. 

The university will be renting the facility for the next five years, with the first years rent being $2,500 per month, in addition to the estimated $150,000 - $200,000 being spent on renovations and signage.

The center will be open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
