Parking for visitors to Bluffton University's campus will be altered during ongoing construction of the Health and Fitness Education Center (HFEC).
"Visitors and guests are important members of our campus community. It is important to us that during the construction efforts, we make parking spaces available to these guests and those persons who use handicapped parking areas," said Kevin Nickel, vice president for fiscal affairs. "We hope the temporary parking shortage does not deter guests from enjoying Bluffton University campus events."
