## Parking at Kendall College of Art and Design

Kendall College of Art and Design does not have a dedicated parking lot for students, according to the college’s housing information (ferris.edu). The campus address is 110 Ionia Avenue NW in Grand Rapids, and the school recommends the Grand Rapids city ramp west of campus, with entrances on both Ionia and Pearl Streets (ferris.edu).

The recommended ramp charges $2 per half hour, with a $24 daily maximum. Metered parking applies from 8:00am until 5:00 or 6:00pm, Mondays through Fridays (ferris.edu). The city ramp is the practical official option for staff, visitors and students who need parking close to the campus rather than relying on street spaces.

## Parksy Spaces Close to the KCAD Campus

Two parking lots are listed 0.3 mi from the campus at $2 an hour.

A secure 24/7 garage is 0.4 mi away at $3 an hour. Its covered setting and round-the-clock access suit staff, visitors carrying materials and students who want a more structured alternative to an open lot. Two secure monthly lots in Prospect NE are 0.5 mi away at $100 a month, which makes them the most suitable choices for students or staff parking regularly rather than paying hourly.

A secure 24/7 gated lot is 2.0 mi from the campus and costs $5 a day. The distance makes it better for a full-day visitor or staff member who can accept a longer transfer than for a quick campus appointment.

## Busy Parking Periods Around the Grand Rapids Campus

Weekday parking demand is strongest during the college day because the city ramp meters from 8:00am until 5:00 or 6:00pm, Mondays through Fridays (ferris.edu). Students without a dedicated campus lot, staff and visitors are therefore competing for paid ramp and street spaces during regular weekday activity.

Campus events can add pressure around the west side of the buildings. The official directions identify the Grand Rapids city ramp west of the campus, with access from Ionia and Pearl Streets (ferris.edu).

Street parking around the campus should be treated as controlled rather than guaranteed. The college’s directions point drivers to the city ramp and state that charges apply (ferris.edu), so drivers should use marked legal spaces and follow the restrictions shown on nearby signs.

## Other Grand Rapids Parking Choices Near KCAD

The Grand Rapids city ramp is the main nearby alternative to parking on campus. It sits west of the campus and can be entered from both Ionia and Pearl Streets (ferris.edu). The ramp rate is $2 per half hour, capped at $24 per day, and weekday metering runs from 8:00am until 5:00 or 6:00pm (ferris.edu).

For shopping-centre parking, the listed local options do not provide a shopping-centre site with a stated free period. The city ramp is therefore the clearly identified public car park for a campus visit, while the Parksy lots and garage offer alternatives at stated hourly, daily or monthly prices.

Drivers choosing a public ramp rather than a private space should allow for the weekday charge structure when planning a full day. The $24 daily maximum applies to the Grand Rapids city ramp (ferris.edu), while the nearby Parksy choices include hourly, daily and monthly arrangements for different visit patterns.

## Walking From Vernon J. Ehlers Station to KCAD

Vernon J. Ehlers Station is the nearest station to the campus, at 0.8 mi away and a 16-minute walk. The station-to-campus route is a practical option for visitors who would rather avoid driving into central Grand Rapids.

The campus is 282 yd from Grand Rapids centre, placing KCAD within a central urban area where a rail-and-walking trip can replace a search for a space. Visitors using the station should allow the full 16-minute walk after arriving at Vernon J. Ehlers Station.

For drivers combining parking with rail travel, the station is the only nearest-station option identified for this address. The 0.8 mi distance and 16-minute walking time provide a clear comparison with the Parksy spaces listed closer to the campus.
