With the fall semester fast approaching, workers began construction of a new parking lot on Weatherford College’s main campus. The new lot, located on the east side of the Alkek Fine Arts Center, is expected to be completed before the first day of classes Aug. 24 and will provide an additional 70 parking spaces, helping to alleviate a growing parking problem caused by record-setting numbers attending WC. College officials are predicting an overall enrollment of 5,000 or more students for the fall semester, with the majority attending classes on the main campus in Weatherford.
