About this Location

Facility Overview

The UVU Parking Garage serves as the primary multi-level parking deck on the main campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Situated conveniently off West University Parkway, this modern covered parking structure offers sheltered parking across multiple tiers, protecting vehicles from harsh winter snow, summer heat, and mountain weather. The facility features wide driving lanes, clear directional signage, and standard stall dimensions designed to accommodate compact passenger cars, crossovers, standard full-size SUVs, and light-duty pickup trucks. High-profile commercial vehicles, elevated camper vans, and lifted off-road trucks exceeding the posted clearance (typically 8 feet 2 inches on the ground level and 7 feet 0 inches on elevated decks) should utilize designated open-air surface lots across campus.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Permit enforcement is active on campus during standard university operating hours (typically 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Monday through Friday). Visitors should note their stall or license plate number upon parking and pay promptly via the ParkMobile mobile app or on-site pay kiosks to avoid citations. During major commencement ceremonies, high-attendance basketball rivalries, or major concerts at the UCCU Center, the garage fills quickly; arriving 30 to 45 minutes prior to ticketed start times ensures easy navigation and a swift exit post-event.
