Parking on Campus: March 10th deadline
You must let us know whether you'll need a parking permit by March 10. If 15 or less permits are needed, the permits will be available from the information booth on 17th street. (See directions above.) The booth will have a list of attendees who requested permits. IF more than 15 permits are requested for the conference, your permit will be mailed to you. Please check back here for the most current information. If you are staying overnight at the Holiday Inn, plan to leave your car parked there. It's a short walk to Hale from there!
If you register by March 10th, your parking permit can be ordered at the time of registration. After March 10th, you will need to proceed to the 17th street information booth and purchase a vistor's parking permit. The cost is the same, but a permit is required to park on campus.
Please hang the permit on your rearview mirror, facing the front of your vehicle.
A map of lots on K-State's Manhattan campus is available at: http://www.k-state.edu/parking/maps/07_08map.pdf. The permit is good in any O, R, T, W, or Z lot. This includes the vast majority of lots on campus. It is not good at metered stalls or reserved stalls in those lots, however.
The lot closest to Hale, A6, is likely to be full by 8:00 a.m., even though it is Spring Break. It may be possible to find a spot in A8 or A23. A17, A28, A5, A2, A3, are likely to have spots. The lot that is absolutely certain to have plenty of free spots is D1. It’s about a 7 minute walk from Hale. My recommendation is to try for A23 or A17. They are about a 3 minute walk from Hale and are just north of the building.
The driving directions given above, direct you to lot D1. If you want to aim for A17 and A23, the easiest way to get there from D1 is to head north on Denison and take a right on Claflin (it’ll be the second intersection you come to). Then head east on Claflin until you come to the four way stop at Mid-campus drive. Turn right onto mid-campus drive. A17 will be the first lot on your right. A23 will be the first lot on your left.
