A sign is now taped to the door that used to lead to the Parking Services office just inside of Edwards Hall deferring people to the parking garage.

Despite signs outside of Edwards Hall, there is still confusion between students about where exactly Parking Services is located. The department is no longer located in Edwards Hall, it was moved to the first floor of the parking garage in August.

Jeff Hauser, senior in management, who works at the front desk of Edwards Hall, said he sees and feels the frustration every day that he works.

"It makes our job very difficult because we are constantly reminding people that they are coming to the wrong building even though there are signs posted. We redirect about 10-15 people a day, every day we are open. Some students are frustrated, but most understand they are in the wrong place."

However, Hauser said in Parking Services, there isn't a problem. Gary Leitnaker, Asst. Vice President of Human Resources, said they are not having problems with students going to the garage and haven't since the beginning of the move.

"There isn't an issue." Leitnaker said. "There was an issue when we first moved, but we put signs outside of Edwards Hall so they knew when they pulled up. Hardly anyone in the past month was out here." Leitnaker also said the main reason for the move to the garage was to provide a more central location for students to reach Parking Services, rather than having to drive completely out to Edwards Hall.

While some students are still confused about where Parking Services is located, others are finding out about the move all on their own. Jordan Hanson, senior in English, figured out where the parking garage was, due to information he gained through acquiring a permit online.

"When I went on iSIS to buy a parking permit I just figured out it was here." Hanson said. "It says where it is on the Web site and I followed the directions to [level] 1 KSU Parking Garage".
