Facility Overview
The Morris Street Deck is a modern, multi-level parking structure strategically located at 70 New Street, New Brunswick, NJ. Serving as the primary parking resource for the Rockoff Hall residential complex and the surrounding downtown New Brunswick corridor, this facility provides secure, covered parking in a dense urban environment. The deck features a multi-story design optimized for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and SUVs. While the structure offers reliable vertical clearance suitable for most private vehicles, oversized commercial vans or trucks with roof racks should exercise caution and verify clearance heights at the entry gate.
