What’s up with that?: Slab-filled trailers part of new parking garage project

COLUMBIA — People driving along South Providence Road might be wondering what’s up with the large trailers, loaded with huge slabs of pre-cast concrete, that are parked on the lot of the former Osco drug store. The slabs are actually components of a new parking garage being built several blocks away near University Hospital. Two MU officials, Phil Shocklee, director of campus facilities, and Jim Joy, director of parking and transportation, answered some questions about the situation.
