We are continuing to evaluate the current conditions related to Iowa State, the return of staff and a plan for the fall. For now, please continue to shop the online store. Once we see some departments and events returning to campus, we'll post open days and hours here. We're still working on all custom screen print and embroidery orders, so send 'em this way!
Lot X (yellow arrow) will remain open for parking. There is also on street parking along Hayward and Chamberlain, plus Lot Y at the corner of Welch and Chamberlain. Thanks to Copyworks - Ames for the great visual!We are about to find ourselves a little short on parking as the city updates our streets, but those visiting us are still able to access our back lot!

What the Welch?
After much planning, the new Welch Avenue is much closer to reality. The project is beginning on Monday with upgrades to 100-year-old water and sewer lines under Lincoln Way. Traffic on Lincoln Way will be funneled to one lane in each direction for the next 3-4 weeks. Then work starts on Welch Avenue.
