The goal of this project is to construct an area for students, faculty, and staff who attend work or school at the Chemical and Life Sciences Building and Roger Adams Laboratory to stow their bicycles in a secure location throughout the day (or night) that is sheltered from the elements. These parking structures will be
modeled after those present at the Ikenberry Commons. 

Many occupants of Chemical & Life Sciences and Roger Adams Laboratories had used bicycles as their primary means of transportation to and from work and frequently stowed their bicycles in the atrium and other common areas in the building. This could be seen by the large number of bicycles tethered to indoor rails and in laboratory spaces, which caused additional debris to be tracked indoors and increases the burden on facilities, and was evaluated as a safety hazard. In the past year, these two buildings adopted policies which restricted/prohibited the storage of bicycles inside, lowering the number of people who commute to these buildings via bicycle. Providing proper areas for storage of bicycles will increase ridership among those who frequent the building.
