Parking Locations by Group

Guests & Visitors

If you are visiting our campus, you have a few options depending on where you need to go:

• Guest Only Lots (Red Outline): Dedicated exclusively for visitors. The primary guest-only lot is located right off L R Wilson Way.
• Employee/Guest Lots (Maroon): Guests are also permitted to park in any maroon-colored lot scattered throughout the main campus loop.
• Student General/Guest Lots (Yellow): Visitors may also utilize the general yellow lots.

Employees (Faculty & Staff)

• Employee/Guest Lots (Maroon): Staff members should primarily utilize the maroon lots. Major employee parking areas can be found inside the Baird Loop, near O'Neal Ave, along Benson Rd, and adjacent to Johnson Ln.

Commuter Students

• Student Commuter Lots (Dark Green): If you commute to campus, look for the dark green designated lots. These are centrally located directly off O'Neal Ave and near L R Wilson Way.

Resident Students

• Student Resident Lots (Peach/Coral): Students living on campus must park in the peach-colored resident lots. Large residential parking zones are located on the west side of Baird Loop, along Branch Rd, and in the housing complex area on the eastern side of campus near Memorial Rd.
