Parking

We recommend parking in one of the following three Northwestern University parking lots closest to the Jacobs Center:

East of Sheridan Road (north of Library Place and south of Garrett Place; if you are driving north on Sheridan Road, the lot is your first right just past the Jacobs Center). One block walk to Jacobs Center.

In front of the James L. Allen Center (accessible via the lot listed above, just proceed though the above lot east of Sheridan Rd. and continue down towards the lake.) One block walk to Jacobs Center.

At the corner of Maple and Foster Streets (behind the Foster CTA/El station). Three block walk to Jacobs Center.

Except as posted, parking restrictions requiring a permit on campus are only enforced Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. In most University lots, including the lots listed above, University parking permits are not required after 4:00pm on weekdays or all day on Saturday. The lots above are free.

Street parking is not recommended, as the City of Evanston tickets heavily in the residential areas around Kellogg/Northwestern University. Street parking is limited to two hour intervals, and the time limit is strictly enforced.
