  • Parking

    Many members of the Denver Law community park in the garage attached to the building but some also choose to park in surface lots scattered throughout campus. Parking permits are required to park in lots across campus. The closest visitor parking is located under the law building in Lot 321. The only way to access this garage is from the West bound lane of Evans Avenue, and there is a pay kiosk by the elevators that accepts cash or credit cards. 

    The University of Denver is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, so street parking can be scarce and many streets are designated for area residents only. 

    Directions to Visitor Lot 321

    1. From the intersection of S. University Blvd. and E. Evans Ave., go west on Evans using the far right lane.
    2. Before you reach the crosswalk and the pedestrian bridge over Evans, turn right on S. Gaylord St.
    3. Follow the driveway which will take you to the underground parking directly under the law school.
    4. Pay kiosks are located next to the door to the elevator room.
