About this Location

Facility Overview

Lot 19 at Brigham Young University (BYU) is a sprawling, high-capacity open-air surface parking facility situated directly off University Parkway in north Provo, Utah. Conveniently positioned immediately northwest of the famed Marriott Center and steps away from BYU’s primary athletic and broadcast complexes, this lot serves as a vital transit and parking hub for students, faculty, alumni, and campus visitors. Because Lot 19 is an unobstructed outdoor surface lot, it offers completely open headroom with no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an ideal parking solution not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, passenger vans, and university fleet vehicles. Wide drive aisles and well-marked single stalls ensure smooth maneuverability throughout the lot.
