Campus Parking and Access Changes

 

Campus Parking and Access Changes Effective Sunday June 4 2023

In light of recent community events and our desire to provide radical hospitality to all individuals who have made the decision to worship with us and visit our campus, FUMC Allen will reduce the number of access points into our building effective Sunday, June 4. These changes will not only be in place for Sunday worship but also at other times during the week during business hours.

The information below details those changes that that may affect you and your access to the facility. 

 WEST Parking Area and Entrance

During previous construction projects, the West Parking area and entrance became regular parking for individuals visiting our campus. Once construction was complete, the new campus signage was changed to indicate that the main entries to our facility are located toward the back of our campus buildings at Atrium entrance, where we have a long covered walkway area, and at the South Entrance.

With those changes in mind, we will now transition the West Entrance to a staff entrance and parking area. As a result, that entrance door will no longer be unlocked for general access during the week and on Sundays. We are asking that all non-staff members and guests to begin parking near the South Entrance or in the large lot at the back of our campus.  If you choose to continue parking at the West Parking Area, you are welcome to use this lot, but we ask that you walk to a building entrance that is unlocked for access.

We will work as quickly as possible to move current signage from the West Parking Area to other parking locations around the campus.


North Entrance

The East facing entrance to the North building, known as the North Entrance and located near the courtyard, will remain locked on Sundays and during the week. We ask that all individuals enter the building through one of the the two courtyard entrances.

 South Entrance

The South Entrance is considered one of the two main entrances to the building.

On Sundays, this entrance will be unlocked for programming access beginning at 6:30am. This entrance will remain unlocked on Sundays until programming for the day has ended. Please note that program end times will vary from week to week.

From Monday through Saturday, the South Entrance will remain locked unless we have scheduled programming that requires general access to the facility. Individuals who wish to access to our facility during office hours will need to utilize the door access system located at the entrance.

Atrium Entrance

The Atrium Entrance, at the end of the long covered walkway off large East parking lot and next to the courtyard, is considered one of the two main entrances to the building.

On Sundays, this entrance will be unlocked for programming access beginning at 6:30am. This entrance will remain unlocked on Sundays until programming for the day has ended. Please note that program end times will vary from week to week.

From Monday through Saturday, this entrance will remain locked unless we have scheduled programming that requires general access to the facility. Individuals who wish to access to our facility during office hours will need to utilize the door access system located at the entrance.
