The campus will be a beehive of construction as soon as school finishes, and as many parking lots and curbs as possible will be re-striped/painted this summer. Therefore, we need as few cars as possible being left on campus.
If you are leading a Juniors Abroad or Summer Serve trip, or are away on a business trip, we’d prefer that you be dropped off on campus, and your car isn’t left here. Should that not be possible, your keys must be left with security and we will tell you where to park, depending on weekly construction activity.
Please also relay this information to your Juniors Abroad/Summer Serve trip attendees. Also, George Fox is not responsible for anything that might happen to your car when it is left here. Thank you in advance for your cooperation so plant services can work unhindered this summer!
Questions or an out-of-box situation? Call us at 503-554-2090.
