Facility Overview
Lot H is a primary parking facility located on the Westchester campus of Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in the 90045 area of Los Angeles. Primarily serving the university community, this open-air surface lot is designed for high-capacity flow. The layout is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and standard pickup trucks. Given its surface-level, open-air configuration, there are no vertical clearance restrictions to worry about, making it accessible for taller vehicles that might otherwise struggle in subterranean garages.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers should be aware that parking on university grounds often requires a valid permit or a pre-paid event pass. During high-attendance events, traffic near the campus entrance can surge, so arriving at least 45 minutes early is recommended. Always check the official LMU Parking Services website before arrival to ensure your specific destination within the campus does not require a different parking permit or lot assignment. Ensure your GPS is set to the specific entrance gate, as campus internal navigation can be complex for first-time visitors.
