Parking at Cal Poly

A map of the Cal Poly campus follows for your convenience; look for the red circles that mark the suggested parking area and the Graphic Arts building.

Parking permits are required for parking at Cal Poly and are included in the workshop fee. A “Sponsored Guest” parking permit will be reserved for you at the Visitor Center booth and can be picked up when you first enter campus on Grand Avenue, located on your right as you enter.

A Sponsored Guest permit will allow you to park in any Sponsored Guest, Staff or General parking space. Please do not park at meters as tickets are frequently given and we have no power to have those reversed.

The easiest place to park is the Grand Avenue Parking Structure, located on the left approximately 400 yards after the Visitors Center. To get to the Graphic Arts building, exit from the bottom floor of the garage and take the sidewalk to Perimeter Road, cross the street and walk left down the hill to the Graphic Arts building (building 26 on the map).

The workshop will be held in the Graphic Arts building (bldg 26), GrCI/ RR Donnelley Learning Center (room 221).

For another parking option that is closer to the Graphic Arts building:

1. From the Visitor Center, continue west on Grand Ave. until it dead ends at a stop sign.

2. Make a right onto Perimeter Road heading north until you reach the stop sign at University Drive. Turn right.

3. At the next stop sign, turn left on Highland Drive.

4. At the next stop sign, turn left on California Ave.

5. Continue past the stadium on your left. At the next stop sign, turn left on Campus Way.

6. Stay on Campus Way, veering left as you pass through the stop sign onto Cuesta Avenue. Parking spaces are available on both the left and right sides of Cuesta Ave. If you park on Cuesta, just walk down the hill until you meet Perimeter Road, cross the street then turn right and walk about 100 yards to building 26.

7. Once you’ve located building 26, the entrance closest to the GrCI/ RR Donnelley Learning Center (room 221) is at the northeast corner of the building (along Perimeter, near the recycling containers - see the photo shown below); this entrance will bring you in on the second floor of the building right next to room 221. If entering from the ground floor entrance at the southeast corner of building 26 (under the big KCPR-FM sign), take the hallway on the right until it ends then either walk up the stairs or take the elevator to the second floor.
