Dear CIM Employees,
Governor DeWine indicated in his press conference on March 30 than an extension of the stay-at-home order would be issued later this week, after the federal government announced an extension over the weekend.
Anticipating these actions, we’ve had discussions with CIM’s interim parking partners at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Botanical Gardens, and Western Reserve Historical Society, all of whom have agreed to suspend all parking for the month of April. Your payroll deductions for parking will also be suspended. Throughout the year, I have been grateful to our parking partners for their assistance and I am especially appreciative of their flexibility and understanding now.
Once the Governor updates Ohio’s guidelines, we will adjust our timeline for return to the building and the need for interim parking accordingly, and update you. Until then, anyone who needs to visit the building to perform essential duties or retrieve items can park in the front circle or the loading dock as space allows. Ample street parking is also available nearby.
All permit holders should keep their placards and access cards/fobs, either for reactivation or to be returned. In the second half of April, I will be in touch with faculty and staff who don’t work on campus in the summer to process full cancellation as needed. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at

All the best,
Maddi Tolliver
Senior Director, Artistic and Facilities Operations
