Directions to the Department of Meteorology |
Visitors attending the Thursday's Meteorology Seminars can park free at the Regents Garage (PG 2) after 3:00 pm. Be sure to follow this procedure: There will be a parking attendant at the Stadium Drive entrance, to whom you must tell that you are attending a Department of Meteorology Seminar. He/she will give you a parking permit valid from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, and direct you to the area where you can park. After 4:00 pm parking in this garage is open. To see location, either click on the above link "Directions to the Department of Meteorology" or go to Campus Maps and click on the Northwest Quadrant. - Parking area with attendant to the east of the building. To see location, go to Campus Maps and click on the Northeast Quadrant. - Stadium Parking, also known as Parking Garage 3 (PG-3).
