Facility Overview

The Ensign College Parking Garage (also recognized as the Triad Center Parking Terrace) is a multi-level, covered concrete parking facility located at 345 W North Temple St in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. Serving the Ensign College campus, the BYU Salt Lake Center, and the broader Triad Center commercial complex, this structured deck provides hundreds of secure parking stalls protected from the elements. The layout features wide drive aisles, ramped transitions across multiple subterranean and elevated parking tiers (P1 through P4), and well-marked pedestrian connections directly leading into campus courtyards and adjacent office buildings.

Vehicle suitability accommodates standard passenger sedans, crossovers, mid-size SUVs, and standard light-duty pickup trucks. Because this is a covered structure, vertical clearance is restricted to standard multi-level clearances (approximately 6 feet 8 inches to 7 feet depending on the deck level). High-roof commercial vans, raised conversion vans, utility trucks with overhead ladder racks, and oversized campers exceed vertical limits and should seek adjacent surface lots on North Temple or 400 West.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Strategically situated on the western fringe of downtown Salt Lake City, this parking deck provides direct proximity to premier sports, cultural, and retail destinations:

• Delta Center: Home of the NBA Utah Jazz and major headlining stadium concerts, situated merely two blocks south (approx. 5 to 7 minutes on foot).
• The Gateway: A vibrant open-air lifestyle district featuring dining, Clark Planetarium, Megaplex Theatres, Wiseguys Comedy Club, and Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum, located just across 400 West (approx. 3 to 5 minutes on foot).
• The Depot: A premier indoor live-music venue located at the historic Union Pacific Depot building (approx. 4 minutes on foot).
• Temple Square & Conference Center: Global LDS headquarters, the historic Tabernacle, and the massive LDS Conference Center auditorium are located two to three blocks to the east (approx. 8 to 10 minutes on foot).
• Salt Palace Convention Center: Downtown Salt Lake's sprawling exposition venue, within easy walking distance or a fast two-minute ride via public transit.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The garage’s vehicular entrance is located on the western perimeter along 400 West near the intersection of 50 North. Approaching drivers should head northbound on 400 West or eastbound on 50 North, as median dividers prohibit left-hand turns into the facility from southbound lanes. During peak departures following major events at the Delta Center or Temple Square, vehicles can promptly exit westbound toward Interstate 15 via 600 South or North Temple, bypassing the heavier gridlock typical of Main Street and State Street.

Transit connectivity is exceptional. The property sits within the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) downtown Free Fare Zone. Riders can board the UTA TRAX Green Line along North Temple (at the Arena Station or Temple Square Station) or catch commuter rail service at the North Temple FrontRunner Station only one block west at 500 West, making regional commuting effortless without battling city traffic.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering the parking facility, ensure you approach northbound on 400 West to smoothly pull into the entry lanes without being blocked by traffic dividers. Casual visitors and guests should pull a ticket at the automated gate barrier and bring it with them to their destination; university visitors and tour participants can often receive ticket validations at academic service desks, testing centers, or authorized campus offices. During Utah Jazz game nights and major Delta Center concerts, street access around 300 West and South Temple becomes congested—plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before tip-off to secure a spot and enjoy a relaxed walk to the arena.
