Online mapping: This is a very congested area on weekdays around 5pm. No parking pass is needed for this lot after 5pm. 2012 event note: We sincerely apologize for directing you to this lot on the evening of Mon. Feb. 13, 2012. We regret that we were not aware of the Virginia Tech women's basketball game on that date which causes an after-5pm prohibition on parking in this lot. We were remiss in not having that information in advance and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused any of our guests. PDF campus map: (University
