Parking Overview

The sheer size of campus and the number of people and cars that visit daily can make parking on or near campus a challenge. Give yourself ample time for parking.

There is no free visitor parking anywhere on campus. Options include parking garages, some surface lot spaces, and pre-paid discount event parking. Scroll down for details on each option.

Whether you are a prospective student visiting the Butler School, or attending a concert, you can use the information below to plan your visit.

Parking Tips

The University recently opened the new Moody Center basketball arena just southeast of The Butler School, Near DKR Texas Memorial Stadium. As a result, parking on our side of campus will be more challenging when there are Moody Center and Texas Performing Arts events happening at the same time as Butler School concerts.

Tips

  • Arrive earlier to your event to account for increased congestion and walking times. 
  • San Jacinto Garage and Lots 37 and 39 are the most convenient locations to park for Butler School events. City metered parking along Dean Keeton St. is competitive, but remains an option.
  • Manor Garage will be reserved for Moody Center events when they have an event taking place.
  • Consider foregoing driving to campus altogether and use public transportation or ride sharing! 

ADA & Handicapped Parking

Handicapped parking spaces are located in the San Jacinto Garage. There are also ADA spots along Trinity Street that are free after 5:45 pm on most days.  ADA spaces on campus require a government-issued permit at all times. 

Visit Parking and Transportation Services for more information on parking for visitors with disabilities.

Surface Parking
