Blacksburg Transit Multi-Modal Transit Facility: Perry Street Garage ADA parking, Hokie Bike Hub impacts
Ongoing parking and pedestrian impacts remain in and around the Perry Street region because of the construction of the Blacksburg Transit Multi-Modal Transit Facility.
As construction impacts may change, and plans are altered, please visit the Campus Closures Map often for the latest updates. Road closures are also updated in Waze and Google Maps.
Utility work impacts: Perry Street Garage
To accommodate electric line installation for the Blacksburg Transit Multi-Modal Transit Facility, beginning as early as April 4, ADA parking spaces within the Perry Street Garage will be temporarily moved from their current location (side of the facility closest to the Data and Decision Sciences capital project) to the opposite side of the garage (side of the facility closest to Goodwin Hall).
The number of available spaces will remain the same and similar access to elevators will be maintained. Directional signage will be in place to assist with navigation.
This temporary relocation will last approximately one month.
Also during this time, to accommodate the electric line installation, the exterior entrance to the Hokie Bike Hub will be closed for approximately two weeks. The Hokie Bike Hub can be accessed from the interior entrance near the Perry Street Garage stairwell.

Plans to adjust parking based on the anticipated construction disruptions in the Perry Street region have been underway since FY19. All F/S spaces in the area that have been lost to construction (primarily in the surface lots) have been moved into the Perry Street Garage.
Additionally, in FY19 and FY20, Parking Services issued approximately 2,500 student parking permits for the Perry Street area. In FY21 – in anticipation of construction at the Blacksburg Transit Multi-Modal Transit Facility and Data and Decision Sciences Building – about 1,800 student permits were issued. For FY22, Parking Services anticipates around the same number of student permits to be sold in the area.
The quantity of student parking permits issued for the region will correlate strictly to the number of spaces available, so that those who have purchased permits for the region will be able to find spaces.
