Parking at Penn State
Parking:
Parking on campus is limited,
and there is no visitor parking available at Davey Lab. Fortunately,
there are several convenient, nearby parking solutions available:
- HUB Parking Deck: The
nearest parking deck with visitor parking is only about a block
away, next
to the Hetzel Union Building (HUB) with an entrance on Shortlidge Rd.
This lot has metered parking and requires quarters (30 minutes per
quarter). The driving directions direct you to this location.
To reach the Astronomy department from this deck, exit on the opposite side
from auto entrance and angle to the right to Pollock Rd.
Turn left on Pollock and walk one block, past the HUB. Davey Lab is on
the right (with the observatory domes on the roof).
- Pugh Street Parking Garage:
There
is a borough parking garage about one and a half blocks from Davey Lab
on
Pugh Street, between College Ave. and Beaver Ave. This is an attendant
parking lot where you get a ticket when you enter and pay when you leave. It is therefore convenient if you don't have change for
the parking meters or if you don't know how long you will need to stay.
To reach this lot, continue west on College Ave. (which is one-way)
past Shortlidge Road to the
next stop light, which is Pugh St. Turn left onto
Pugh St. The parking garage is 1/2 block, on the right.
To get to Davey
Lab from this lot, turn left on Pugh Street to the University, and continue
across College Ave. up the hill to Davey Lab, which will be just to your
right at the top of the hill after crossing Pollock Rd.
- Surface lots:
For extended periods, you can purchase a one-day parking pass for $4 which will
allow you to park in one of several open parking lots. Not all parking lots
on campus are available for visitor parking, even with a valid visitor parking
permit. Specifically, the parking lot behind Davey Lab has no
visitor parking.
If you wish to use this option,
stop at one of the visitor information/parking booths located on the
campus map
to get the parking sticker and a list of available parking lots. These lots
are farther away than the two options listed above.
