Facility Overview
The LATTC Olive Street Parking facility, located at 2001 S Olive St, Los Angeles, CA 90007, serves as a primary parking structure for the Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC) campus. This facility is a substantial, modern multi-level parking structure designed to accommodate the heavy traffic flow of a major urban educational institution. While the structure is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and commuter cars, drivers of oversized vehicles such as high-roof cargo vans or lifted trucks should exercise caution due to standard garage height clearances. The layout is structured to facilitate high-volume throughput during peak academic hours.
