East Tennessee State University’s $26.1 million parking garage, originally slated to open in August, has been delayed once again, now scheduled for mid-February by college officials.The 425,000-square-foot structure, which will house food service operations and university offices along with the 1,200 parking spaces, has been plagued with delays since construction began in August 2012.Builders first uncovered soil unsuitable for building, then faced an unseasonably wet year, then ran into materials and design delays.As late as last week, contractor Rentenbach hoped to have the structure ready for student parking by the Jan. 16 start of the spring semester, but the cold snap last week left workers unable to pour concrete or run cables for emergency phones and security cameras.In announcing the later target date, ETSU Vice President for Finance and Administration David Collins said that adequate parking should still be available this semester for students.
