Transportation

Parking

If you will have your car with you, we recommend parking at the Bryan Center Parking Garage (Parking Garage IV Visitor), located adjacent to Bryan Center and near the Chapel.

If this lot is full, you can also use the Science Drive Garage.

Parking at either garage costs $2.00/hour.

Taxis and ride shares

If you’re coming to / leaving useR with a cab or ride share, we recommend being dropped off / picked up at the roundabout behind the Bryan Center.

Biking

There are plenty of places where you can lock up your bike nearby Penn Pavilion. Bikes that are locked up are generally safe on campus during the day, but we don’t recommend leaving them at the bike racks overnight.

Food

You can find out about nearby food and coffee options, along with hours of operation here. Many of them are located in the Brodhead Center or the Bryan Center.
