Due to the IMU renovation project, starting in July 2025, the parking lot south of the IMU/north of Hubbard Park, and leading up to Danforth Chapel, will not be accessible to the public.  While Danforth Chapel itself will not be under construction, it is possible that Hubbard Park will be used to hold construction equipment, materials, fencing, trailers, etc.  Please keep this in mind when reserving Danforth Chapel.
