Parking Information for UCR Physics Department

Parking for workshop participants has been arranged in Lot 13. Please proceed to the parking kiosk on West Campus Circle Dr, right off University Ave, and mention the CA CMT Meeting to the attendant. Parking is $5/day or FREE for UC employees with valid UC permits (you will still need to obtain a courtesy permit form the kiosk!). There will be an attendant on duty at the information kiosk on Saturday, 7:00am to 8:00pm and Sunday, 10:00am to 5:00pm. If you plan to park on both days (Saturday and Sunday) please request a two-day permit on Saturday!
Refer to this campus map in order for you to locate the kiosk.

For those of you staying in the Extension Center: unfortunately, the Extension Center parking permit is not valid on campus, you would have to either purchase an additional campus permit or consider a ~10 minutes long walk between the Center and the Department.
