NEW Open Space App: After a successful pilot with the open-space counters at Laurie Auditorium, we added another open-space counter at the Prassel Garage. The newly acquired Open-Space App provides the open-space count of the Laurie Auditorium Garage parking levels and the Prassel Garage. You can download the app by clicking one of the links below. Once downloaded, you will choose the “I have a code” option and enter code: TU20250530, then choose Trinity University.
