The parking permits can be used in the faculty/staff designated parking lots and the visitor section of the Wharton Center ramp. The recommended lot is the Wharton Center visitor ramp #3 (This is an attended lot where you take a ticket and when you exit give the attendant your parking permit and the ticket. You must enter this lot from Shaw Lane − see the map for detailed directions. Do not enter the Wharton Center ramp from the Wilson Road entrance as you can only exit from there with a gate card.) Other lots near the Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building are lot #'s 46 on Wilson Rd. (across the street from BPS), 41 on Shaw Lane (west side of the planetarium), and 51 on Shaw Lane (ramp on the east side of the planetarium − use of a parking permit applies only in the faculty/staff section as the visitor section is metered and is unattended.)
