Cain Parking Garage opened Oct. 10 on campus, offering more than 1,400 additional parking spaces near the Memorial Student Center and Kyle Field. 

Cain Garage has five parking levels, including rooftop parking for use by visitors and permit holders, as well as for fans on game days.

Associate Vice President Peter Lange of Texas A&M Transportation Services said the garage showcases some of the latest in parking technology. Electronic way-finding and level-counting signage will guide customers to available parking. This technology operates in real-time and with 99 percent accuracy, according to Parking Guidance Systems. The ultrasonic space indicators provide customers with information about open parking spots through programmable LED lighting that indicates whether a parking spot is open and available for use.

Lange pointed out that Cain Garage is now the closest parking facility to Kyle Field, offers premier parking for fans during football game days.

“This is a great facility and we are pleased to have it open and ready to serve the parking needs of the Texas A&M community,” Lange said.

Cain Garage is part of a larger site plan being evaluated for an academic building and a hotel/conference center. Construction of Cain Garage began shortly after the demolition of Cain Hall in the spring of 2016. It was finished on schedule and on budget, officials said.
