Most research assistants walk to the lab from their dorms/apartment, have a semester garage pass or pay to park in the garage, or park in one of the ground lots on campus.
Our lab has two assigned parking spots which we use to provide visiting families with free parking. Do not -- ever -- use the parking spots.
If you are going to schools and are coming to the lab to pick up some equipment, you can park in the 15 min LOADING ZONE. Leave a note in the dash with your name, number and time parked. We understand that this is an extra step but we don't want you ticketed or towed when it's not your fault. If the loading zone to the left is unavailable, park in the middle loading zone. DO NOT PARK ON THE NEIL AVE LOOP EVER. NEVER PARK IN THE SPOT ON THE RIGHT. That is NOT a loading zone and you WILL be towed within 10 minutes.
