Parking

East Campus Garage Parking Blackout Notices:

Due to various circumstances, such as campus-wide events and the number of validation tickets already reserved, Parking & Transportation Services may place the restrictions on access to the East Campus Garage. The dates and events will be noted below.

In addition, there may be additional days when the garage will be open for lease holders and event attendees only. Please bookmark CMU PArking's homepage (https://www.cmu.edu/parking/index.html) and check back frequently for any updates or changes.

Campus Parking Options

Tthere are parking machines on Schenley Drive, Frew Street, and Tech Street which are all very near to Roberts Hall. They accept currency and credit cards; it is ~$3.00 / hour and uses your license plate as the timing factor -- there should be plenty of spots still available at that hour. Parking is also available in the RMCIC Building Garage - P4 on the general campus map (closest) or the East Campus Garage - P7 on the map (further walk but more familiar to some of our guests). Some past attendees have also used the parking lot on Forbes Avenue at the nearby Carnegie Museum (also shown on the map). If you have any questions, please ask Karen.
