About this Location

Facility Overview

The Traville Gateway Garage is a modern, multi-level structured parking facility located at 9638 Gudelsky Drive in Rockville, Maryland. Positioned on the eastern perimeter of The Universities at Shady Grove (USG) campus within the vibrant Great Seneca Life Sciences Corridor, this parking deck provides safe, efficient, and weatherproof parking for students, academic staff, medical professionals, researchers, and general visitors. Built with wide driving lanes, clearly designated circulation ramps, and generous turning radiuses, the garage easily accommodates standard passenger vehicles, crossovers, minivans, and full-size SUVs. While standard pickup trucks fit comfortably on all levels, drivers of commercial vehicles, high-top passenger vans, or roof-rack-equipped gear should heed the posted entrance clearance signs (standard vertical clearance is approximately 7 feet 0 inches to 8 feet 2 inches on select ground access areas).

Visitor & Driver Tips

Visitor parking is enforced routinely, so remember your vehicle\'s license plate number upon parking, as automated pay stations require plate entry. For the fastest experience, activate parking sessions through the ParkMobile app before heading inside your destination. If attending large commencement exercises, career expos, or major university symposiums, plan to arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to scheduled start times to secure spaces on lower tiers and avoid peak entry traffic along Gudelsky Drive.
