parking options, each varies in its proximity to the classroom and number of
available spaces (and probability of finding an open spot). The availability of
parking spaces is affected by the schedule of special Stanford events.
-
The nearest parking (including
disabled parking spots) is along the the Oval. There are relatively few of
these popular spaces.
-
Along Lomita Drive, there are
spaces in front of the Cantor Center for Visual Arts, the Rodin Sculpture
Garden, and the Old Chemistry Building.

There is a large number of
parking spaces available in the multi-story parking structure (PS-1) off of
Campus Drive and Roth Way.

Additional parking is available
