Parking & Accessibility

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 to cover the cost of parking. The minimum session is 2 hours and the rate is $2.50/hr. The university has implemented Passport pay-by-phone App option to manage visitor parking on campus: https://ppprk.com/park/. Visit the W&M Visitor Parking page for more information.

Handicapped parking is available both behind Swem Library and at Phi Beta Kappa Hall. Both locations will require a walk of about 1/3 of a mile - the Phi Beta Kappa walk is on more level ground. Please let us know if you need assistance by contacting the Circulation desk, and we can arrange for you to enter the building at an alternate entrance.
