Available Parking Areas

Parking Ramps: Two public parking ramps within walking distance to Pappajohn Business Building and Pomerantz Center (view on a map). The Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) Ramp and the North Campus Ramp are both located on and accessible from Madison Street. The parking rate in the afternoon/evening hours is $.75 for the first hour, then $.90/hour after that. Parking ramp fees may be paid by cash or check. Graduated rates apply for daytime parking; for rates go to the Public Parking Facilities page.

While vehicle registration is not required, MBA-PM students enrolled in a course can register a car (at no registration cost) to receive a night permit and qualify for a slightly discounted rate to park in both the North Campus and the IMU parking ramps which are in close proximity to both the Pappajohn Business Building and the Pomerantz Center. For more details about these options contact the UI Parking Services office at 319-335-1475. Note: Student hourly rates are valid at UI parking ramps (including the North Campus and IMU parking ramps) between 4:30 pm and 8:30 am Monday through Friday and on weekends. Entering before 4:30 pm or leaving after 8:30 am invalidates the rate reduction and public or graduated rates will then apply for the entire time. For a list of all ramp fee rates, visit the Public Parking Facilities page.

Surface Lots (after 4:30 pm M-F, and all day Saturday and Sunday):
Free Public Parking in University Faculty/Staff Parking Lot #2 is available for free public parking after 4:30 PM M-F and all day Saturday and Sunday on a first come first serve basis.  One row in this lot is reserved for permit holders at all times and is not available for public parking.  That row is clearly labeled.  This lot resides on the corner of Iowa Avenue and Gilbert Street and can be accessed from Gilbert Street.  The lot sits directly east of Seashore Hall and north of a city parking ramp. Surface lot #8 is a very small lot, but is also available. Map

Metered Street Parking: Parking is also available along the streets surrounding the John Pappajohn Business Building. There is a charge for street parking from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, but parking is free after 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday and all day on Sunday. (The information listed was accurate at the time of posting this message. However, make sure to read the posted hours on the meter to ensure these city parking meter regulations have not changed.)

Parking Beneath Pappajohn Building (evening only): The metered parking lot located in the lower level of the John Pappajohn Business is available to the general public from 4:30 pm - 7:30 am Monday through Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Meters are $.90/hour and are enforced 24 hours/day. Any vehicle parked at an expired meter is subject to a ticket. Entry to the lot is accessible from Clinton Street.

Metered Parking Lot:   There is a small metered parking lot that has a 10-hour limit.  It is located on the north side of Market St. between Dubuque St. and Clinton St., directly across from the entrance to the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church.  These meters only take quarters and have a rate of $.50 per hour.  It is a popular lot so space fills up fast. 

Non-Metered Street Parking:  If you enjoy a little walk, there are some streets in the residential areas north and east of the Pappajohn Business Building where you can park for free.  If you would like to use the option you may want to allow for extra time for locating a space and walking.
