Parking at UMKC.  There’s a new parking option on the Volker Campus–UMKC’s new six-level Cherry Street Parking Structure is officially open!

Located at the corner of Cherry Street, 50th Street, and Oak Street, the structure provides 1,500 spaces to serve students, faculty, staff, and visitors.  The structure features two pedestrian walkways:  one towards the Student Union and one crossing the street towards the PAC and Student Success Center.  Cyclists may also make use of the structure:  the facility houses secure bicycle storage and two public showers that may be used by commuters.  The University Police Department will occupy space on the ground floor of the garage.  Metered spaces are available on the 5th floor of the structure.

Please keep in mind there is no free parking on campus.  Permits are available for purchase either online or in the Parking Operations Office, located in the Administrative Center room 221. Parking maps are available for each campus:   Volker and Hospital Hill.
