Prices and hours of parking vary and depend on your location, however, most lots are free after 5PM on Friday and on weekends!
Where would handicap parking be available? Is there a handicap drop-off area?
There is handicap parking in the lot across from the main entrance. If not the main entrance, there’s ample parking all around the area in various lots, parking decks and street parking, all with their own sets of handicap parking.
The main entrance also features a circle drive (Harrison & Water) that may be a good location for a drop-off.
