Facility Overview
The Senior Lot, located on the campus of Acton-Boxborough Regional High School at 36 Charter Road, Acton, MA, is a dedicated surface parking facility primarily serving the school's student body and staff. As an open-air lot, it is designed for standard passenger vehicles. While there are no complex height restrictions typically found in covered garages, drivers of oversized vehicles such as large construction trucks or high-roof campers should be aware that the layout is optimized for standard student commuting vehicles. The lot is segmented into specifically numbered, assigned spaces, ensuring an orderly flow for daily operations.
