Visitor parking is available in the parking lot behind Swem Library. Visitors may park in any one of the designated areas and establish a pay-by-phone session using the Passport app to cover the cost of parking. The minimum session is 2 hours and the rate is $2.50/hr.
Passport Parking Pay-by-phone
The university uses the Passport Parking pay-by-phone app to manage visitor parking on campus. Non-affiliated guests no longer need to stop by the Parking Office to purchase a temporary parking pass for the length of your visit. Visitors may park in any one of the designated areas in the parking lot behind Swem and establish a pay-by-phone session to cover the cost of parking. Take note of the zone number posted where you parked.
How to pay for parking with the app:
- Download the PassportParking app for free through the App Store and Google Play or go to https://ppprk.com/park.
- Click here to view a short video of how the system works.
- Visitors without a smart phone can call 757-230-2092 and follow the prompts to initiate a parking session.
Accessible Parking
There are accessible parking spaces on Landrum Drive behind Swem. A short distance across the street from the parking spaces is an accessible entrance to Swem. The entrance has a yellow box with a button to ring for access. If you need staff to meet you at the entrance, please contact our circulation desk so that we can make arrangements ahead of time.
