Parking

Parking is at a premium in University Circle. Four-hour parking meters are located on the streets around CIM (East Boulevard, Hazel Drive). The fee is $.50 per hour, Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. There is limited free street parking on Juniper Road available to anyone who is fortunate to find a space open. Parking permits are available to students for Lot #46 at CWRU. Students interested in purchasing a permit should contact the University Parking office at (216) 368-2273 or by e-mailing parking@case.edu.

Parking violators will be ticketed by both University Circle and City of Cleveland Police, and the cars of persons with unpaid tickets are either “booted” or towed. Payment of parking fines and towing charges is enforced strictly through all University Circle institutions.

CIM Parking Policies

The Hazel Annex Parking lot, adjacent to CIM, is a “permit only” lot for faculty and staff. It will however be open parking between the hours of 3:30pm and 6:00am the following morning. Additionally, the lot may be open on weekends.

TOWING OF VEHICLES without permit passes will occur weekday mornings beginning at 6 am.

A limited number of spots in the Hazel lot will be available for student purchase at the beginning of each school year. Students interested in purchasing a permit need to sign up for the parking lottery.
