Facility Overview
The Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Jordan Campus Visitor Parking facility is an expansive, well-maintained open-air surface parking area serving students, prospective applicants, faculty, visiting medical patients, and community guests. Located at 3491 West 9000 South in West Jordan, Utah, the Jordan Campus is one of SLCC’s premier regional hubs, widely known for its health sciences curriculum, high-tech labs, and career development programs. Because this is an entirely grade-level, uncovered surface lot, there are no vertical clearance limits or low ceiling overhangs. This layout makes it exceptionally hospitable for standard passenger cars, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, service vans, and ADA-equipped accessible vans alike.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Positioned on the lively 9000 South corridor, this parking area sits immediately adjacent to the core educational facilities of the Jordan Campus, including the Health Sciences Center, High Tech Center, and the Jordan Student Pavilion. Beyond collegiate activities, the facility provides strategic positioning near several major local destinations:
- Jordan Valley Medical Center: Located just minutes away along 9000 South, offering emergency care, clinics, and specialist offices.
- West Jordan City Center & Veterans Memorial Park: Situated approximately two miles east, providing expansive green spaces, recreational ballfields, and seasonal festivals.
- Jordan Landing: Roughly a 5 to 7 minute drive north, Jordan Landing features one of Salt Lake County\'s largest shopping centers with multi-screen cinema complexes, department stores, and dozens of restaurants.
- South Jordan & West Jordan Commercial Corridors: Fast access to corporate parks, regional dental clinics, and public municipal buildings throughout southwestern Salt Lake Valley.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Accessing the parking facility is straightforward via West 9000 South (State Route 209), an expansive east-west thoroughfare connecting directly with Bangerter Highway (UT-154) to the east and the Mountain View Corridor (UT-85) to the west. Broad campus entrance boulevards allow drivers to smoothly decelerate off 9000 South without impeding traffic. For those connecting with regional public transit, Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus routes operate regular stops directly adjacent to the campus boundary along 9000 South, offering straightforward connections to the UTA TRAX Red Line stations in nearby South Jordan and West Jordan.

Visitor & Driver Tips
SLCC actively enforces parking regulations throughout standard academic operating hours on weekdays. Visitors must make sure to register their vehicle license plate at a campus pay station or via the designated mobile visitor portal upon arrival to avoid citations. During peak class switchover times—particularly Monday through Thursday mornings between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM—the front stalls closest to the Health Sciences Building fill rapidly; drivers are encouraged to look toward the perimeter rows for immediate, hassle-free parking.
