Visitor & Driver Tips

To ensure a smooth parking experience, always review posted signage at the lot entrance regarding permit designations, hourly meter enforcement hours, and payment instructions. When planning trips around major college events like graduation, homecoming, or high-profile shows at the Community Arts Center, aim to arrive 20 to 30 minutes ahead of scheduled times to secure a prime spot. If you drive a large vehicle, the open sky format makes parking simple, but be mindful to park fully within the painted boundaries to maintain comfortable flow through the access lanes.
