Parking & Accessible Facilities

Parking

UGA students, faculty and staff with disabilities must have both the state-issued disability placard and a UGA parking permit to utilize campus disability parking spaces during enforcement hours. UGA Parking Services provides information and instructions to acquire a UGA disability permit. Visitors with disabilities must display a state-issued disability placard or license plate to utilize disability spaces.

All campus pay parking decks contain conveniently located disability spaces. See our Locations & Directions page for information about parking decks located nearest each library building.

In addition to campus parking decks, some surface parking lots near library buildings have designated disability parking spaces. 

  • At the Main Library, the small parking lot between Jackson Street and the library building has 10 designated disability parking spaces. This lot is accessible at all times.
  • Near the McBay Science Library, there are four designated disability parking spaces along Sanford Drive in front of Myers Quad. Also, the S03 gated parking lot next to the McBay Science Library has 3 designated disability parking spaces which can be accessed after 4:30pm weekdays or on weekends without a campus parking permit (or anytime if you have a parking permit for that lot).
  • The Miller Learning Center has 9 designated disability parking spaces in the parking lot between the MLC and Military Sciences. This lot is open at all times and can be accessed via the entrance on Baldwin Street.

Please call 706-542-PARK if you need additional information or require any accommodation.
