Parking

Visitor parking is available in the North Parking Garage, 2152 Hillside Road, across from the Science 1 building. The parking lot in front of Science 1 is reserved for commuter pass holders only.

The North Parking Garage has no attendant or functional access gates. It is equipped with cameras that capture license plate numbers. Payment is made through the PayByPhone Parking app (https://park.uconn.edu/pay-by-phone/), which can sometimes be confusing. Drive in and park; there are QR codes posted inside the garage to help you download the app. The provided link allows you to download the app in advance.
