Facility Overview
Lot 49 is a key surface parking facility located at 148 Agronomy Rd, within the heart of the Texas A&M University campus in College Station. As an open-air, asphalt-paved surface lot, it offers high accessibility for standard passenger vehicles. Because it is an outdoor facility, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for drivers of full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and high-roof vehicles that might otherwise struggle in covered parking garages.

Lot 49 is strategically positioned to serve the Texas A&M University community. It is situated in close proximity to various academic buildings, research facilities, and the university\'s agricultural district. It serves as a convenient staging point for visitors attending campus events, prospective student tours, or faculty meetings.
