The university’s location guide says parking in university car parks is extremely limited and requires a permit, with payment by coin or a permit typically costing around £3.50 for two hours (cardiff.ac.uk). AccessAble records dedicated parking at the building, blue badge bays and no parking charges applying on the day (accessable.co.uk), while the university’s own visitor page gives different parking information. For a student or member of staff, the permit requirement is the key practical point; visitors should use a suitable nearby space rather than assume campus parking is available. ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Sir Martin Evans Building Parksy lists six nearby spaces for drivers heading to the campus in Civic Centre, near Castle. The closest priced listing is a parking space near Hilton Cardiff, 0.3 mi away, at £4.80 a day. At 0.4 mi, a secure parking space in CF24 costs £30 a day, while a Richmond Road space in CF24 costs £6.50 an hour. Also 0.4 mi away are a secure 24/7 city-centre space at £4.50 an hour, a Crwys Road space at £4.50 an hour and a secure 24/7 garage in central Cardiff at £25 a day. The daily spaces suit students or staff leaving a car for much of the day, while the hourly options are more practical for a short visit, appointment or meeting. The near-Hilton space is the lowest priced daily option listed and may suit a visitor wanting a straightforward daytime base. Show map of Castle ## Shopping and Council Parking Near the Campus Cardiff’s shopping centre is only a few minutes’ walk from the university’s Biosciences location (cardiff.ac.uk). That makes shopping-centre parking a practical alternative for drivers combining a campus visit with time in the city centre, although the centre itself is not the university’s car park. The campus sits in the Civic Centre, near Castle, and the university’s own location information directs drivers towards limited university parking rather than a general visitor car park (cardiff.ac.uk). On-street parking along Park Place and Museum Avenue is identified by the university, with free use for blue badge holders (cardiff.ac.uk). These streets are useful for an eligible accessible visit, but they should not be treated as unrestricted general parking. ## Busy Periods Around Cardiff University and College Lane Parking pressure is greatest when university activity is concentrated around the Civic Centre, including term-time arrivals, open days and events. A permit is required in university car parks and parking there is extremely limited, according to Cardiff University’s location guide (cardiff.ac.uk). Visitors arriving for an open day or event should therefore expect campus demand to be higher than on a quiet day. The Sir Martin Evans Building can be accessed through the main entrance on College Lane or the north deck entrance between 8am and 6pm (Scribd). Park Place and Museum Avenue provide the university-identified on-street locations, with [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) there reserved for blue badge holders (cardiff.ac.uk). The combination of limited university capacity, permit controls and activity around the Civic Centre makes a pre-arranged nearby space more suitable for students, staff and visitors who need a predictable arrival. ## Rail and Walking Routes to the Sir Martin Evans Building Cardiff Queen Street railway station is the nearest station to Cardiff University - Sir Martin Evans Building, at 0.6 mi and a 13-minute walk. The route brings rail users into the Civic Centre area without requiring a car for the final approach to College Lane. Cardiff Central railway station is another option, at approximately an 18-minute walk. The university’s Biosciences information places the building at Museum Avenue, while the campus address is College Lane, Civic Centre, Cardiff, CF10 3AT (cardiff.ac.uk). Cardiff Queen Street is the more direct rail choice by walking time, whereas Cardiff Central can work for passengers whose train service terminates there. Both stations avoid the limited university car-park capacity and permit requirement described by Cardiff University (cardiff.ac.uk).
