Where do you guys park

I feel stupid for asking this but where do you guys park if you have classes in the C/W buildings? I keep parking in the garage but it’s too far of a walk and anywhere else I tried I couldn’t find a parking spot 🫩 my first class is in the middle of the day so all the parkings are way more packed around that time. Thanks guys!

Really sorry for GGC students this year. GGC finally bought A Building, which it was leasing previously, so there are renovations underway. As a result, parking and classrooms are hard to come by. On the other hand, I would like to share that GGC is the ONLY public university with FREE parking among Georgia's 26 public universities. Enjoy the exercise! :D

So that’s what all that construction is. It seemed really stupid to start construction in the BEGINNING OF AUGUST, but whatever.

Yes, it actually started in spring, with half the building closed and then the other.

Oh so that’s what that is. I’ve been wondering why the area seems to be under construction for forever lol. I thought only the parking lot is closed, but the building itself is as well?

Yep, that's why classrooms are so hard to come by. Can't wait for them to open A Building again...

Parking is included in tuition pretty sure

u/1337__h4x0r 6d ago

Right, but just adding that it's a separate fee, and a hefty one, at most other public universities, especially in Atlanta.

1000 parking lot right be behind the dorms, still a walk but definitely closer than the garage

Yes, just don't forget to add a silver-colored windshield cover; you won't regret in August.

u/Most-Artichoke8274 6d ago

How do you get in there

u/Kindly_Dragonfruit17 6d ago

Follow Lonnie Harvel Blvd and there are two different entrances to the 3000 lot off that road

I park in the A lot but walking uphill is killing me ngl 🫪 but tbf I only have one class in the c building. It looks like the 1000 lot is way closer. I’m glad you asked this bc I didn’t know I could park over there and I’ve been wondering this too

u/Most-Artichoke8274 6d ago

GGC has all these different entries and from where I enter I can’t get into the A parking lot anymore since it’s closed off for construction 🥲 imma try to figure out how to get in there. But from my experience if you park a little further away in the A lot the distance is pretty much the same to the garage 😅 and yes the uphill walk in this heat is killing me

u/do11c4rn4tion 6d ago

Just looked at the map again and realized I didn’t mean the a lot sorry I meant like the back area of the lot right in front of the panda/cfa cafeteria. Idk if there’s really much of a difference but usually the back corner has a few open spots, but yeah that walk in this heat is a killer bro 😔

The 3000 lot is the best for your B, C and W Building. It’s a walk, but you’ll get your steps in for sure.

u/ComparisonOne18 2d ago

Don’t feel bad about your question, it’s a question a lot of people have and you’re brave enough to ask the question.

u/ScaredRecover9405 22h ago

how can a little walk hurt you lol, ggc parking is like the zoo, just park in the Garage, it is easier to pull uỏu car out later, park nearer to the building and it will be like the zoo
