The AOERC is adjacent to several campus improvement projects (parking structure and new residences). These projects have eliminated parking in both parking lots on Santa Teresa Street (Lot 29 & Lot 31), as well as the street parking on Santa Teresa Street. Handicapped parking however, is still available on Santa Teresa Street. We highly encourage an alternative commute. The AOERC has plenty of bike, skateboard, and scooter parking. The nearest parking options for the AOERC are as follow:

  • Parking Structure 2 (Via Ortega and Panama Street / A Permit, C Permit, and Visitor Parking)
  • Lot 25 (Via Ortega and Panama Street / A Permit and C Permit Parking)
  • Lot 22 (Searsville Road and Campus Drive West / A Permit and C Permit Parking)

Restrooms
