125 East Rosemary St Parking Deck (125RED)
The 125 East Rosemary St Parking Deck is our new parking deck that finished construction and opened August 2024. This is a public parking location, so we offer limited parking spaces for student parking here.
The parking deck is located at 125 East Rosemary St, with a way to enter and exit the garage on both East Rosemary St and North St.
Because it’s close to the campus and part of downtown, the use of transit isn’t as a requirement as for the Jones Park location. However, if you need transportation, transit has bus stops on N Columbia St next to Momo’s Master and in front of the Pulp Juice and Smoothie Bar. Buses A, G, HS, N, NS, and T stop here.
