POST UPDATED ON MARCH 3, 2026
The fourth level of Parking Garage A at Sinclair College has been closed most days since Jan. 26, when Ohio’s record for single-day snowfall was broken.
On Feb. 6, there were about three inches of snowfall.
The garage level was open at times on Feb 26 and 27. As of March 2, it is still closed.
According to Sinclair’s website, enrollment for spring semester is at a 13-year high. Despite this, the restricted parking space is ongoing.
The Clarion has attempted to reach the parking office for comment. The office has not responded.
On March 3, after the original story was posted, Andrew Pittenger, parking manager at Sinclair, said that students are now able to park on the first level of the parking garage which was originally for staff only. The roof level was deemed unnecessary for the volume of traffic.
“There’s plenty of room on the first three levels,” he said.
According to Pittenger, the closure also makes the garage safer due to inclement winter weather.
