Facility Overview
Parking Garage Level 2, located at 1352 Wertland St in Charlottesville, VA, serves as a strategic parking solution within the vibrant University of Virginia corridor. This facility is part of a multi-level structure designed to accommodate standard passenger vehicles. Due to its garage format, users should be mindful of standard vertical clearance limits typical of inner-city structures; while suitable for sedans, SUVs, and standard crossovers, individuals driving oversized lifted trucks, high-roof cargo vans, or vehicles equipped with roof racks are advised to exercise caution or seek alternative surface-level parking.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a stress-free parking experience, we recommend arriving at least 30 minutes prior to any scheduled campus events, as the Wertland corridor can experience significant congestion during peak hours. If you are visiting for a high-attendance athletic event or university celebration, consider pre-paying if mobile options are available to secure your entry. Always program the address directly into your GPS, but remain alert for local one-way streets and university-specific traffic restrictions common in the Charlottesville area.
