If you continue down King Road and take a left turn onto Samaritan Avenue, there is a large parking lot, Lot B, on your right just south of the Student Apartments.

If you continue down Samaritan Avenue and take a left onto College Boulevard, parking Lot C is on your left between the Arts and Humanities Building and the new Dwight Schar College of Education Building. If you continue down College Boulevard and take a left onto College Avenue, you will pass the Dauch College of Business and Economics Building and the Gill Center on your right. Take the next alley into the parking lot, Lot D, which is behind the Dauch College of Business and Economics Building off College Avenue or Grant Street.

If you continue down College Avenue and go straight through the light at Claremont Avenue, there are two additional lots, Lot E and Lot F, northwest of Claremont Avenue off Jefferson Street and on both sides of Myers Convocation Center and Amstutz Hall.  Lot G is northwest of Broad Street near the athletic fields, while Lot H is located behind the Conard Field House with access from Claremont Avenue.
