Campus Map and Parking

The lab building is identified as "Mechanical Engineering Laboratory" (MERL) on the searchable campus map.

This map indicates parking locations. Meter spots are available on Santa Teresa behind the MERL building, but are commonly full. The Tresidder Union lot (labeled L-39 at coordinates I-7 on map) has hourly spots and is generally more open. The Via Ortega parking garage, located at Via Ortega and Panama Street (labeled S-2 at coordinates G-5 on map) is another option.

A map identifying all Mechanical Engineering Buildings is here.
