Renovation of YMCA and Roberts building temporarily relocates parking services

Originally located beside Burger King on the Northwest      end of Mississippi State University’s campus in the Roberts building, Parking services has temporarily been relocated to the YMCA building across from the Colvard Student Union.
Parking services has found a new home on the second floor of the YMCA building. The move reportedly will make room to transfer MSU’s post office to the Roberts building.
Director of Parking, Transit and Sustainability Jeremiah Dumas, said he has been working in parking services since the spring of 2014.
Dumas said renovations are occurring at once in both the Roberts building as well as the YMCA.
“We had to move out of the Roberts building so that the building could be modified for the Post Office,” Dumas said.
According to Dumas, the post office will soon be moving out of the YMCA building due to renovation.
According to Dumas, the post office will soon be moving out of the YMCA building due to renovation. 
“The Post Office will now move into the area of the Roberts building once occupied by the MSU Laundry,” he said.
Students can expect the move to be temporary, as parking services will move back into the old location once renovations are completed. 
Sheliar Childs, senior human sciences major, said the change may take some getting used to.
“I started at MSU in 2008, and I’ve always known parking services to be right beside Burger King,” Childs said. “I just hope the new location works out because a lot of students need to access parking services at some point and time.”  
In light of the new location, Dumas said parking services plans to deliver the same services, only from a different location.
“We understand how limited the parking is in the area of the YMCA, so we will be working with our customers to make the process as smooth as possible,”  Dumas said.
