Service Parking

Traffic Bollards Support Pedestrian Safety

In an effort to support safe pedestrian pathways and keep fire lanes clear for emergency vehicles, traffic control bollards are installed throughout Mies (Main) Campus. Vehicular access to Footlik Lane, our main pedestrian pathway on Dearborn Street from 31st - 35th Street, is restricted. Service delivery parking for Wishnick, Perlstein, and Alumni Halls is supported at 32nd & State Street, on the north side of Perlstein.

Refer to the Service Parking Map below to locate additional entry points. If exceptional access is required closer in proximity for major deliveries, contact Facilities at 312.567.3320.

Service Parking

Service parking provisions are available for contractors, vendors, and the Illinois Tech community to support university business at our Mies (Main) campus. In general, parking on campus requires permission by means of vehicle registration, a visitor permit, or adherence to designated service and time-restricted areas as posted. Marked company service vehicles will be given due consideration while parking in designated service areas. Registered permission is expected from ALL vehicles parking in permit areas. Personal vehicles are expected to utilize paid visitor parking.
