Parking on Stanford Campus
There is a lot of construction near the James H. Clark Center building and parking is limited. In addition, parking at Stanford is by permit only, and is strictly enforced. The easiest option is for you to buy day parking with cash or credit at the Lomita Dr. kiosk, located at Lomita Drive and Campus Drive West (marked with the P inside a yellow square, coordinates D8 on map). The machine provides a receipt to place on your dash which allows visitors to park at any meter -- only needed until 4:00 pm; rate is $1.50 per hour. Another option is to buy a Visitor Parking Scratcher for $12 at the Parking & Transportation Services office (340 Bonair Siding, open weekdays 7:30am-5:00pm). (coordinates FG13 on map).
-- With these you can park in any metered space. We recommend you park in one of the metered spaces on the first floor of one of the multi-story garages near the James Clark Center, Parking Structure 1 or Parking Structure 2;
-- For Parking Structure 1: from Campus Drive W. turn onto Roth Way (this is a left turn if are following the driving instructions above), then LEFT into the Parking Structure (coordinates E7 on map). You can then walk to the Clark Center Building.
-- For Parking Structure 2: from Campus Drive W. turn onto Via Ortega (this is a left turn if are following the driving instructions above), then RIGHT into the Parking Structure (coordinates G5 on map). You can then walk to the Clark Center Building.
You will need to allow 15 minutes to find parking and walk to the building.
