Parking at Roosevelt University’s South Michigan Avenue Campus
The downtown campus does not offer on-site parking, according to SpotAngels (spotangels.com). Drivers therefore need to use a nearby commercial garage or a Parksy space rather than looking for a university-operated lot.

The 75wharrison site lists a discounted Roosevelt rate of $10 a day for students, faculty and staff, Monday through Sunday, with entry anytime and parking for up to 12 hours (75wharrison.com).

Busy Periods Around Roosevelt’s Downtown Campus
Parking pressure is greatest during the academic term, when students and staff arrive at the South Michigan Avenue campus throughout the day. Residence Hall move-in is another demanding period because the University Center does not provide parking and drivers use nearby lots and garages instead (roosevelt.edu).
Goodman Center visitors should also plan for competition around events because Roosevelt and the Lillian and Larry Goodman Center do not have dedicated downtown parking (rooseveltlakers.com). Drivers using a garage or reserved space avoid relying on street availability during classes, move-in activity or Goodman Center events.
