Facility Overview

Salt Lake Community College Westpointe Campus Visitor Parking serves students, workforce trainees, faculty, visiting industry partners, and community members attending the SLCC Westpointe Workforce Training & Education Center. Located at 2145 W 1120 N in northwest Salt Lake City (ZIP code 84116), the facility is designed as an expansive, open-air surface asphalt parking lot wrapping around the state-of-the-art career and technical education building. Because the parking area is entirely open-air with no overhead beams, multi-level decks, or parking garage height restrictions, it offers unrestricted vertical clearance. This makes the Westpointe lot exceptionally well suited not only for standard sedans and crossover SUVs, but also for full-size pickup trucks, trade vans, high-roof cargo sprinters, and utility vehicles frequently driven by technical program students, contractors, and visiting industry instructors.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Situated in Salt Lake City’s vibrant industrial and commercial gateway near Rose Park and the Salt Lake City International Airport corridor, the Westpointe Campus lot provides direct access to vital educational and cultural hubs across Salt Lake County:

• SLCC Westpointe Workforce Training & Education Center: Immediate, step-out access (0–2 minutes walking time) to premier technical labs including advanced manufacturing, diesel systems technology, welding, precision machining, and CDL programs.
• Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC): Located just 4 miles west (roughly a 7- to 10-minute drive), making the area highly accessible for out-of-town corporate trainers and visiting technical consultants.
• Utah State Fairpark & Days of ’47 Arena: Located approximately 2.5 miles southeast (5- to 7-minute drive), home to major rodeo events, seasonal agricultural shows, and cultural festivals.

• Northgate & Regional Industrial Parks: Bordering major logistics hubs, aerospace supply facilities, and manufacturing plants across the northwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Reaching the Westpointe Campus lot is straightforward for drivers travelling from across the Wasatch Front. Ingress and egress are accommodated via wide turn-in lanes off 2200 West and 1120 North, featuring clean sightlines and ample curb radius designed to handle larger trade vehicles and steady shifts of students between class periods. The facility sits just moments from major regional arterial corridors: Interstate 215 (North Temple / 700 North exits) is less than two minutes away, offering a seamless loop around the Salt Lake metro area and fast interchanges with Interstate 80 and Interstate 15. For public transportation users, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) operates bus services connecting the North Temple transit corridor and nearby light rail (TRAX Green Line) stations to the Westpointe hub, providing multi-modal connections across the valley.

Visitor & Driver Tips

• Virtual Day Permits: All campus parking is actively monitored via License Plate Recognition (LPR). Visitors should purchase a temporary $2 daily permit online through the SLCC parking portal prior to or immediately upon arrival, or park in designated short-term metered bays.
• Enter License Plates Accurately: Ensure your license plate number and state are accurately typed into the system; Utah plates default numerical zeros instead of the letter 'O'.
• Observe Stall Colors: Keep a close eye on lane stripes. Avoid parking visitor vehicles in blue-lined faculty/staff stalls during enforcement hours unless explicitly authorized.
• No Overnight Stays: Overnight parking is strictly prohibited on SLCC campus grounds, and unauthorized vehicles left past operational hours are subject to fines or towing.
