Facility Overview
The University of Virginia (UVA) Parking & Transportation facility located at 1101 Millmont St serves as a central hub for university logistics and administrative parking. This facility functions primarily as a surface-lot environment designed to accommodate the heavy influx of staff, students, and campus visitors. The site is optimized for standard passenger vehicles, including sedans, compact cars, and mid-size SUVs. While the lot is open-air, offering no vertical clearance restrictions for standard roof heights, drivers with oversized vehicles, trailers, or high-roof commercial vans should coordinate with university parking services beforehand, as spaces are marked for standard dimensions.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located on the western edge of the University of Virginia grounds, this facility provides excellent proximity to major academic and administrative buildings. It is ideally situated for those visiting the Fontaine Research Park, the UVA Health System clinics, and various department offices along the Millmont corridor. The iconic UVA Central Grounds, including the historic Rotunda and the University Chapel, are accessible via a short shuttle ride or a pleasant 15-20 minute walk through the campus, making this an ideal staging point for prospective students, faculty applicants, and visitors attending university events.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The lot is easily accessible via Millmont Street, which connects directly to the major arteries surrounding the UVA campus. During peak academic hours, traffic on Millmont can be dense, so drivers are encouraged to follow posted signage for visitor parking sections. The facility is well-integrated into the University Transit Service (UTS) network, with nearby stops providing frequent connections to the rest of the campus and Charlottesville city transit hubs. Major interstates, including I-64, are located just a few miles away, offering convenient egress for commuters heading out of the city.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To ensure a seamless experience, visitors should check the official UVA Parking & Transportation website in advance, as some areas may be restricted to permit holders during weekday business hours. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early for appointments to account for potential campus traffic. If you are visiting for a specific department, verify if they provide digital parking validation, as this can significantly offset costs. For GPS navigation, ensure you input the specific street address to avoid being routed to the main student parking garages located on the opposite side of campus.
