Southwest Garage: A limited number of daily parking spaces are available in the Southwest Garage for a flat rate of $15 per day (cash only) and can be reached by entering campus from Canal Road or Prospect Street. You must pay when you enter the garage to park. The Leavey Center is a 10-minute walk up the hill just past the overpass.
Please note: If you have been to campus in the past and taken the GUTS bus from the garage to the Leavey Center, this stop has been discontinued. We do apologize for the inconvenience. If you have mobility impairments you may want to consider trying to find a spot in the Leavey Center garage (please read below about number of spots, etc.). Please contact us at sjk72@georgetown.edu if you have any questions.
Leavey Center Garage and Lots: A limited number of visitor parking spaces are available on an hourly or daily basis at the Leavey Center P-1 or Lot A. These spaces are managed separately by the Georgetown University Hospital and can be reached by entering campus from the Reservoir Road Entrance. The fee is $25 per day (cash only). ATMs are available in the Leavey Center.
We recommend employers park in the Southwest Quad parking lot or take public transportation.
Because parking may be far(ther) from the conference center, we strongly encourage everyone to ship all materials in advance.
