Parking on Campus

Parking is free in IU parking garages on Saturday. The closest one is Atwater Garage (map) which has its entrance on Faculty between Atwater and 3rd St. (All three of these streets are one-way near this block.) Permit requirements are enforced at other locations; cars without permits parked in most lots or on the street near campus may be ticketed or towed.
