Parking at the Lake Shore Campus:

Main Parking

To park in our main parking structure on the Lake Shore Campus, use the campus entrance on the corner of Sheridan and Kenmore (labeled  1  on the campus map). You can enter 1032 W Sheridan Rd, Chicago, IL 60660 into your GPS for reference. Once you enter campus, stay on the one way road which will lead you directly to the parking structure labeled P on the map.

Secondary Parking

If the parking structure is full, you can park in the Fordham Parking Structure. If you are on the campus drive, continue on it back out to Sheridan Road and take a right. Follow Sheridan as it curves north, and the Fordham Parking will be far side of building #9 on the right hand side just before you go underneath the train tracks.

Paying for Parking: At this time HGSA is unable to validate parking. Parking for both garages is a $7 flat fee. You can pay using cash or a credit/debit card. To pay, press the button for a ticket when entering the garage; take your entry ticket with you after parking your vehicle and pay using the Pay-On-Foot machines upon your return to the parking facility. Insert the ticket at the exit gate to exit the garage. You may also pay at the exit gates. It is preferred that payment be made at the pay on foot machines in order to speed up the exiting process, especially at peak periods.

• Main Garage: South Ground Lobby Elevator (cash and credit cards)

• Main Garage: North Ground Lobby Elevator (credit card only)
