University visitors may park in any hourly Pay Lot (Coliseum Deck pay lot is recommended) OR obtain a visitor parking permit ($5/day).
Hourly Pay option: If you wish to use the Coliseum Parking Deck ($2/hour), a permit is not required, nor is a visit to the visitor booth. Enter Coliseum Deck pay lot from Cates Avenue just south of the deck on ground level.
Daily Permit option: Visitors may purchase a permit from the information booth on Stinson Drive. From the information booth, visitors will be directed to return to the traffic circle, take a right on Pullen Road, a right on Dunn Avenue, and a quick left on Jensen Drive to get to the visitor permit entrance of the Coliseum Parking deck (in yellow below). Visitor permits are not valid in pay lots (see below for more information).
Once departing the Coliseum Deck, pedestrians may then go through the Dunn Ave. tunnel (towards the "Field House") in order to get to the College of Design.*
*Due to current construction, please do not go through the tunnel. Instead, proceed east on Dunn Ave. towards Pullen Rd.; take a left onto Pullen Rd. and continue until you reach Brooks Hall on your left.
Parking permits are enforced from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday except on Official University Holidays. Please pay close attention to signs as some lots have extended enforcement hours.
