Parking/Directions

PARKING AT THE UCONN WATERBURY CAMPUS

Paid OLLI members will receive a parking pass to park in the UCONN ramp garage on Fridays only.

UCONN Ramp Garage, North Elm Street  

This is the parking garage attached to the campus building. OLLI members with a valid UCONN parking pass can park on levels 2 or 3 in this parking garage. After parking, take the elevator or stairwell down to “G” (ground level) and enter the campus by turning left off the elevator or right from the bottom of the stairs.

Handicapped Spots – Handicapped parking and handicapped accessible entrance is available from ALL levels. 

When departing the garage, the wooden arm (gate) will go up automatically upon close approach; you will then exit the campus onto North Elm Street.

There will be times that the ramp garage on North Elm Street is full.  Please do not park on the first level, as this is reserved for faculty and staff. 

OTHER PARKING OPTIONS
