Plan ahead for summer Grant Street Parking Garage closure; Wood Street Parking Garage to remain available for permit holders and visitors

The Grant Street Parking Garage will close starting May 14 so repair work can be completed over the summer. It is expected to reopen ahead of the fall semester on Aug. 9.

Throughout the closure, license plate recognition functionality and garage access cards will be disabled. Limited Union Club Hotel guest parking will remain available in the Grant Street Parking Garage, and locations will shift as work continues.

Faculty, staff, select students and campus visitors should plan ahead for temporary parking accommodations as follows:

• A, reserve and university vehicle permit holders: Alternative A permit, reserve permit and university vehicle permit parking is available in the nearby Wood Street Parking Garage or in other locations as identified on the downloadable parking map.
• Campus visitors: ParkMobile spaces in the Wood Street Parking Garage are available; see below.

Campus visitors and others with short-term parking needs should use existing and additional temporary ParkMobile spaces in the Wood Street Parking Garage for the summer. Download the ParkMobile app (Google Play/Apple Store), register and create an account including payment information to get started. Upon parking in a non-reserved space within the garage, select the desired length of time and complete payment through the app. Users have the ability to increase the amount of paid time via the ParkMobile app and do not need to return to the garage to complete that step. Hourly rates will mirror those of the Grant Street Parking Garage for the summer. 

A brief video explains how to use ParkMobile, and a map of all ParkMobile spaces is available online or within the app.

To accommodate these changes, the Wood Street Parking Garage will be enforced 24/7 between May 14 and Aug. 9. Free after-hours or weekend parking will be unavailable in this location over the summer.

Parking Facilities staff are available until 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at 765-494-9497 or parking@purdue.edu, with the lobby at 700 Ahlers Drive open until 4 p.m.
