Venue Parking

On-site parking is available around the Lory Student Center in the Morgan Library Parking Lot (primary), the Engineering Parking Lot (secondary), and the Moby Arena Parking Lot (Lot 195) (tertiary). While the Morgan Library and Engineering Parking Lots are directly outside of the Lory Student Center, the Moby Arena Parking Lot is a 0.6 mile (10 minute) walk to the Lory Student Center. As an alternative to walking you may take the campus bus (the HORN) southbound from the Moby Arena stop to the CSU Transit Center stop, which is the very next stop and will drop you off near the Lory Student Center. The bus departs the Moby Arena every 20 minutes. See schedule here.

Campus parking payment will be taken through the pay machines or through the ParkMobile app and the rate is $2 per hour. It is recommended that you park prior to payment to ensure there is an available spot.

You can find additional available campus parking on the ParkMobile site.
