Foundation Lot

Many CSULB students may not be aware that there are parking options in the Foundation Building parking lot on campus, near Outpost. This parking option may be most beneficial to journalism students especially, due to the fact that it is located right next to the SPA building on the premises. 


The Lot is not necessarily advertised to students as being open to the public because it is primarily created to serve the people who conduct business in the Foundation Building, or who are employed there.


"If space allows, the Lot is open to students at a $5.00 daily charge," said the lady that works in the parking booth (remains anonymous). "But if there is a function or something going on in the Foundation Building, then we cannot allow the spots to be taken by the public so availability varies."

For students who are interested in obtaining a pass for this parking Lot, they have the option to enter a "raffle" conducted each year. At the beginning of next semester, this will take place again. 


"The raffle is basically a way to grant a certain amount of people the option to park in this Lot if they wish," said the parking attendant. "Depending on how many people inquire about the Lot is what we base the amount of passes we give out on. Like, this semester not that many students applied, so everyone that was interested got a pass for the price of $330."


Students who have the Foundation Lot pass are allowed to park in the Lot at any time, and are not excluded during Foundation Building business functions.
