Facility Overview

Located on the bustling grounds of Salt Lake Community College’s main campus, the Faculty Parking facility at 1972 Community Blvd, Taylorsville, UT 84123, serves as an essential parking destination for academic personnel, college staff, and authorized institutional visitors. Arranged as an expansive, open-air surface parking lot, this dedicated facility features organized driving lanes clearly striped with standard college parking designations. Most notably, stalls reserved for faculty and staff are demarcated by bright blue striping, differentiating them from student and visitor zones across the campus.

Because the lot is entirely uncovered with no overhead structures or low-hanging decks, there are no vertical clearance limits to contend with. It easily accommodates all types of standard and oversized passenger vehicles, including full-size pickup trucks, large SUVs, wheelchair-accessible conversions, and high-roof delivery vans. Spacious driving aisles and generous turning radiuses make navigation straightforward, even during the peak shift changes and morning class start times.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers should keep several important regulations in mind to ensure a hassle-free visit. Parking rules are strictly enforced using automated License Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras; always ensure your active vehicle plate is registered with the SLCC Parking Services portal before parking. Take extra care to park inside the blue-lined stalls if you carry a faculty/staff credential, as parking across yellow lines or in metered visitor spaces without the proper supplemental payment may lead to citations. Non-permitted guests should note that one-day visitor permits can be purchased online or via campus pay kiosks for a nominal fee. Finally, overnight parking is strictly prohibited on campus property, so be sure your vehicle is removed prior to overnight closures to avoid ticketing or towing.
