Parking Details

There are multiple parking lots for employers to park in. The closest parking areas appear to be University Blvd Parkade and the North Parkade. We are subject to the university's public parking so space may be limited. We are unable to provide vouchers for parking.

There is also metered parking available on the street, but we do not recommend this as it is very limited and expensive.
