Members of the Georgia Tech community should prepare for increased traffic congestion and limited parking availability on campus from Wednesday, Feb. 4, through Saturday, Feb. 7. Multiple large-scale events taking place simultaneously will bring a significant influx of visitors throughout the week. 

Expect peak congestion near the Campus Recreation Center (CRC), Exhibition Hall, and surrounding parking facilities. Be sure to make a plan, allow extra travel time, and consider alternative routes or transportation options when possible. 

The primary driver of increased activity is the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Swimming and Diving State Championship, hosted at the CRC throughout the week. Each day of the championship is expected to attract more than 1,500 student-athletes and guests, significantly increasing vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the area. 

Additional concurrent events include: 

• The Buzz Classic Softball Tournament. 

• The Georgia FIRST LEGO League Challenge, taking place in the Exhibition Hall. 

Parking and Transportation Information 

Parking for the GHSA event will be directed to the following locations: 

• W10 – CRC presale parking. 

• W06 – Tech Parkway to Northside Drive.  

• W22 – Dalney Deck.  

Parking and Transportation Services will communicate directly with affected permit holders: 

• Move-vehicle notices will be sent to permit holders in W06 and W10, with temporary access provided to W23 (North Deck). 

• Congestion advisories will be issued to permit holders in W04, W02, W22, and W23, advising of increased traffic and potential delays throughout the week. 

Additional event-specific updates and transportation information are available here.  

Looking ahead, the campus community should also anticipate parking and traffic impacts later in the month when the ACC Swimming and Diving Championship takes place Feb. 15 – 21.
