Parking Information
Visitor parking is available at metered parking lots and garages throughout all FIU campuses. You can pay using the on-site QR codes posted on the sign in the lots and parking garages or text the number posted as well. It's a dollar per hour, not including tax.
The parking garages that are closest to the conference building (SIPA) are the Gold and Blue parking garages. For more information, see https://parking.fiu.edu.

Restaurants and Coffee Shops
On the weekend, the restaurant selection on campus seems to be limited to zero. Note, there is a Starbucks close to the math department that is open on Saturday and Sunday (closing mid-afternoon).
For lunch and/or dinner near campus on the weekend, you will need to walk about 3/4 of a mile east - see our map of the area with a couple of locations pinned.
