Parking Procedure

• Day Parking Pass: A one-day temporary pass may be issued to faculty, staff and authorized visitors.

To Receive a one-day pass:

Teaching Faculty must complete and have the Course Director approve a Day Pass Parking Form. A faculty member who wishes to park on a day he/she is not authorized to teach, a reservation must be made with the parking office in advance.

• Visitors must have a reservation for parking prior to entering the garage.

• Visitor reservations for a parking space are made by visiting our website at Parking.med.harvard.edu prior to arriving at the garage. The parking attendant will have your one-day pass waiting for you in the parking booth.

NOTE: without an advance reservation, entry to the garage will be delayed since the attendant cannot authorize parking until the parking office can confirm charges and permit access to the Quad buildings.

• As you enter the garage, please lower your antenna. After you pass through the card reader there will be a sign directing you to either the upper or lower level of the garage.

• Choose any available parking space; please acknowledge the signs that designate certain spaces for either compact cars or trucks and vans only. Honk your horn if you require assistance or use one the house phones located throughout the garage.

Quad Garage Parkers:

• Quad Garage Parkers: If you park underneath another car, please leave your car keys in the small black keybox on the column to the left of your car. Lock the keybox and take the keybox key (the key with the red tag) with you. When you return, use your keybox key to access your keys. When you return, your car will be in the same space, although the stacker may have been raised by the attendant in your absence. If your car is raised, please go to a beige house phone (posted throughout the garage) and dial 2-4440 for assistance.

• To exit the garage use either the stairwell or elevator near the garage office. Your pass is also used to call the elevator, "swipe" your pass through the card reader located adjacent to the elevator button. Remember, you need your pass to get back into the garage.

• If you have any questions please do not hesitate to go to a beige house phone and dial 2-4440 for assistance.

• See map for campus building locations.
