Event Parking

Events, camps and conferences may reoccur year to year and become an integral part of the campus environment. Transportation will make every effort to accommodate parking requests for the university community.

All event parking and traffic operations requests are to be coordinated through the Transportation office. Permits are available for $2 per vehicle, per day. Parking may be limited to specific areas based on the time of year, other events, construction projects, and additional factors. Transportation cannot guarantee space will be available on the day and time requested.

To ensure arrangements can be made for parking and traffic, requests should be submitted to the Transportation office at least 30 days before the planned event. Last minute events do occasionally occur. Please make every attempt to notify the Transportation office of the event at least 7 days before the event. You can submit an event parking request online, or by contacting Carl Mcgill, Sr. at 515-1600. You will receive a reply within 5 business days.

Parking permits are enforced on all of the NC State campuses from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The resident student parking zones ("DE", "DW") are enforced 7a.m. to Midnight, Monday through Thursday; and 7am to 5pm on Friday. Areas designated as "No Parking," reserved, or handicapped (accessible) will be enforced at all times.

Loading and Unloading

Loading and unloading may be arranged for short durations close to the site. Vehicles will be required to move to the appropriate parking location upon completion of the loading or unloading of materials.

Parking for Large Events

Typically large events occur after the normal business day is over or on weekends. Requests for these events must be submitted as early as possible to accomodate for additional parking and traffic planning.

Lots Used for Event Parking

The following parking lots are commonly used for event parking. However, other lots or parking areas may be used depending on the event, time of year, construction projects, etc.

  • Centennial Campus
  • Coliseum Parking Deck
  • Coliseum Surface Lot*
    Located on Cates Avenue (across from Derr Track).
  • Dan Allen Parking Deck
    Located on Dan Allen Drive, just south of Hillsborough Street.

**This lot is the primary parking for buses involved with special event activities. Please pay close attention to signage and/or traffic cones, times, etc., as often buses come in late in the day and cars may be inadvertently blocked in.
