About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated within the University of Vermont (UVM) campus grounds in Burlington, Vermont (ZIP 05405), this open-air surface parking facility provides convenient, centrally situated vehicle access for university students, faculty, staff, medical campus visitors, and the general public. Positioned strategically between central academic halls, health science research facilities, and the neighboring healthcare complex, the facility features paved surface spaces with clear lane demarcations and pedestrian access lanes.

As an open-air parking facility without roof structures or overhead barriers, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes the lot exceptionally accommodating not only for compact and mid-size passenger cars, but also for full-sized pickup trucks, large SUVs, conversion vans, roof-box-equipped road trip vehicles, and mobility-accessible vans requiring high-clearance clearance.

Visitor & Driver Tips

University of Vermont parking regulations are actively enforced, particularly Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Visitors should always check posted signage at the bay or lot entrance for designated permit color zones, visitor pay-by-app zones, and time restrictions. Downloading and configuring the ParkMobile app before arriving guarantees a frictionless parking process. During high-traffic events such as move-in weekends, athletic meets, or commencement, plan to arrive 20–30 minutes early or utilize campus CATS shuttle buses for secondary lot connectivity.
