Facility Overview

Parking Deck 3 is a structured parking facility serving the Rutgers University-Newark campus. It is centrally located to support students, faculty, and visitors. Important Notice: As of October 2024, this facility is closed until further notice due to emergency structural repairs. Commuters are advised to seek alternative parking options within the Rutgers Newark campus network, such as Deck 4.

Access and Navigation

Located at 180 Washington St, the facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles. While typically accessible, drivers should check official university Department of Transportation Services (DOTS) updates for the status of the facility, as access remains suspended during the ongoing maintenance period.

Parking Rates and Operations

Prior to closure, the facility operated on a standard ticket-in system. Historical pricing included a flat fee structure of approximately $5.00 for the first 8 hours, with additional charges applicable thereafter. Payments were generally processed via ticketed kiosks at the exit. Users should verify current university parking policies for the most accurate information on temporary rates for alternative lots.

Strategic Alternatives

For those needing parking while Deck 3 remains closed, the university directs visitors and affiliates to alternative structures, most notably Parking Deck 4 located nearby at 134 Washington Street. This alternative often supports similar event parking needs, including access to The Golden Dome and Frederick Douglass Field.
