About this Location

Facility Overview

The Green on Campus Drive - Parking Garage is a modern, six-level structured parking facility serving the vibrant student community and visitors at The Green on Campus Drive in Orem, Utah. Situated at 505 W 960 S St directly opposite the southern edge of the Utah Valley University (UVU) campus, this concrete multi-deck garage offers sheltered, multi-tiered parking alongside open-air rooftop stalls. The facility is laid out with intuitive two-way interior ramps, clear directional floor striping, and dedicated pedestrian cores featuring elevators and enclosed stairwells.

Vehicle suitability accommodates standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, compact cars, minivans, crossovers, and standard mid-to-full-size pickup trucks and SUVs. Drivers should be mindful of standard parking garage vertical clearance limits (approximately 7 feet on upper decks and access ramps), meaning high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks with tall antennas, and vehicles carrying roof racks or rooftop carriers should verify overhead clearance prior to entering interior decks. Rooftop and ground-level aprons provide additional flexibility for taller permitted passenger vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Parking regulations at The Green are strictly enforced 24 hours a day to preserve spaces for registered permit holders. Visitors must register their vehicle license plate immediately via the online guest portal (utahparkpass.com) or scan posted signage QR codes to avoid ticketing, vehicle booting, or towing. Never park in stalls specifically marked for staff, future resident tours, or maintenance unless authorized. During peak semester start weeks and large stadium events, upper levels (Floors 5 and 6) generally offer the quickest and most abundant open spaces. When driving large pickup trucks, proceed slowly around inner-ramp turns to safely accommodate opposing vehicle traffic.
