About this Location

Facility Overview

The Albany Nanotech Complex B Parking Lot is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated directly within the world-renowned Albany NanoTech Complex (NY CREATES) corridor along Fuller Road in Albany, New York. Designed primarily to serve researchers, corporate partners, technology visitors, and academic professionals visiting the NanoFab facilities and adjacent University at Albany (UAlbany) research centers, the lot provides straightforward, ground-level vehicle access. Because it is an outdoor surface lot without overhead deck structures, it offers unlimited vertical clearance, making it exceptionally well-suited for high-roof utility vans, pickup trucks, full-sized SUVs, and commercial service vehicles as well as standard passenger cars.

Visitor & Driver Tips

All visitors traveling to Albany NanoTech facilities should note that the campus maintains strict building access protocols. Ensure that your host or department sponsor has arranged the necessary visitor credentials or temporary parking permit before your arrival to avoid citations. When navigating during snowy winter conditions, follow designated snow-plowing corridors and observe all posted maintenance signage. If you are arriving for a large conference or symposium, arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to session start times to easily clear campus security check-in desks.
