Campus Traffic and Parking Impacts

Nearly a dozen construction projects will be underway on campus to help enhance university life in support of the Cal Poly Master Plan. These projects range from expanding the Cal Poly Tech Park to enlarging the Administration Building parking lot. During construction, parking lots and traffic patterns will be impacted.

To help faculty, staff and students navigate and plan, the most up to date information on the projects and corresponding parking lot closures and traffic impacts is listed below. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to better Cal Poly.

Future Housing Project

During the summer of 2024 Cal Poly started construction on a 10-year program to expand and improve campus housing to enhance the residential student experience and promote student success. The Housing Future Program will add 3,000-4,000 beds to campus housing and incorporate major renovations to University Housing's six red brick residence halls in multiple phases of construction to ease demand, accommodate growth, and address aging facilities. The program concept will be submitted to the CSU for Board of Trustees for approval at its July session.
