Facility Overview
The Northside Garage (NSG), located at 104 Ireland St, College Station, TX, serves as a vital parking infrastructure point within the Texas A&M University ecosystem. This multi-level parking facility is designed to accommodate the high density of traffic typical of a major university campus. The garage features robust construction suitable for standard passenger vehicles, sedans, and most SUVs. While standard clearance heights are maintained for typical commuter traffic, drivers of oversized trucks, lifted vehicles, or those with roof-mounted cargo carriers should exercise caution and verify clearance signage at the facility entrance before proceeding.
