Upon Your Arrival
Parking around campus can be difficult, even at the best of times. We strongly recommend that you allow extra time for driving and parking throughout the day. It is best to walk as much as possible.
Parking
We recommend parking at either the Kaplan Arena parking lot located on Compton Drive or at the parking garage located on Ukrop Way. Parking assistants will be stationed throughout the area to assist you with parking and directions.
No parking is permitted at any time in the following areas:
- Fire lanes
- No parking zones
- Accessible spaces (must have proper permits)
- "Reserved for" spaces
- "Official vehicle" or service/vendor spaces
- Grass or sidewalks
- Jones Hall lot
Please remember that parking on off-campus streets (including Richmond Road) is controlled by the City of Williamsburg seven days/week, 24 hours/day. City street parking is enforced via color-coded decals. Do not park on streets that require residential decals. Visitors should pay attention to all campus and city signs related to parking restrictions.
Accessible Parking
Vehicles with any state-issued disabled license plate or placard may park in accessible spaces. These spaces are in various campus parking lots and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Refer to the W&M accessible parking map (pdf) to locate areas around campus with accessible parking. View the Kaplan Arena accessible parking map (pdf) to locate parking areas at Kaplan Arena, the first event location for DFAS.
