- Visitor spots: There are 30-minute free visitor spots on the lower left (north side) of the Pavilion Structure.
- Daily permit: If you are staying longer, you must pay for parking. AggiePark uses the AMP Park App. This app allows you to park pretty much anywhere on campus all day for $16. Here is a link to the AMP Park instructions.
- Hourly parking: If you are staying <4 hours and don’t want to pay $16 for the whole day, use the payment kiosks outside the ground floor of each stairwell of the Pavilion Structure to pay for up to four hours of parking. You will need to enter your license plate number into the kiosk and pay with a credit card (Visa and Mastercard only; they do not accept cash).
- Specimen Drop-off: If you have a large amount of specimens or equipment to carry, please contact the herbarium at 530-752-1091 to arrange for access to our loading dock.
