Facility Overview

The parking facility located at 4 Batchelder Rd, Windsor, CT 06095, serves as the primary gateway to the historic 300-acre campus of The Loomis Chaffee School. This site functions primarily as an educational and administrative parking zone rather than a traditional public parking garage. The facility consists of surface-level parking integrated into the campus infrastructure. Because it is part of an active school campus, the lot is designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles, faculty sedans, and SUVs commonly used by families and staff. While there are no restrictive overhead clearance issues typical of underground garages, visitors with oversized vehicles such as high-roof vans or commercial trucks should coordinate with campus security or the administrative office regarding designated drop-off or parking zones.
