Facility Overview
The North Campus Parking Garage (commonly known as the Green Hall Parking Deck) is a premier 7-story parking facility situated on the northern perimeter of Liberty University's sprawling Lynchburg campus. Designed to alleviate congestion and serve both academic and recreational traffic, this 1,500-space multi-level parking deck provides ample covered parking on lower and middle floors as well as open-air spaces on the top level. The facility features wide driving aisles, intuitive ramps, two-way circulating traffic, and clearly marked directional signage. Standard passenger cars, crossovers, minivans, and mid-to-large SUVs navigate the garage with ease. Drivers of full-size pickup trucks and taller vehicles can safely maneuver within the posted vertical clearance (typically 7 feet to 8 feet 2 inches on interior levels) or park on the open top deck, while ultra-tall commercial vans and RVs should use designated surface lots across campus.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Visitors to Liberty University should obtain a complimentary digital visitor parking pass online through the Liberty University Police Department (LUPD) portal or register their license plate upon arrival to avoid citations during enforcement hours (typically Monday through Friday until 4:00 PM). During major athletic contests, Convocations, and Commencement weekends, lot assignments and traffic patterns can shift; follow electronic variable message boards and directions from parking attendants. If arriving during peak morning class transitions (between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM), plan for an extra 10 minutes to locate a space on the upper levels. For quick access to EV chargers, follow interior garage wayfinding directly up to Level 4.
