2023 Event Guide

The parking pass below allows you to park in any lot marked visitor, commuter, or employee (no residential student lots).

We have provided three recommended lots, with additional ones listed below where visitor spots are reserved. *Please note, the Park Ave. garage will be closed and unavailable until after 1pm, so plan to park elsewhere.

Please print the 2023 Parking Pass and place it on the dashboard of your vehicle.

This is very important; campus police will ticket cars without a pass. If you arrive at WPI without a pass, please park and proceed to the check-in table at the Rubin Campus Center for a extra parking pass and return to your car to display in the windshield. Classes will be in session and another event is taking place on campus so parking may take some time, please take this into consideration when planning your trip.

The event will take place in the Rubin Campus center (2nd floor). An interactive map of campus can be found here.  Classes will be in session as well as another larger event on campus the day of the event so we recommend arriving early to locate and secure parking.
