Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at the University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Engineering The Engineering Drive Ramp, Lot 17, charges $1.50 per hour plus a $0.49 access fee, or a $0.25 access fee with a ChargePoint account (transportation.wisc.edu). The ramp is listed at 1525 Engineering Drive, near the College of Engineering at 1415 Engineering Drive. Visitor parking is available through the university’s gated facilities, with live visitor-availability counts published for those locations (transportation.wisc.edu). Many campus surface lots offer [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Lot 17 is free on weekends, and access requires turning onto the specified entrance route from Engineering Drive (engineeringexpo.wisc.edu). ## When Parking Around UWCE Is Hardest Parking pressure is highest during the university’s academic terms, when students, faculty, staff and visitors converge around Engineering Drive. Engineering events add another demand spike. The Engineering Expo parking guidance specifically directs visitors to Lot 17 and highlights weekend access, making event weekends a useful time to plan the approach before driving to the campus. Street parking around the campus is governed by Madison’s posted restrictions, while university lots and ramps use their own access and enforcement rules. Drivers heading to an open day, expo or other university event should treat the surrounding streets as a poor substitute for a campus facility during busy arrival periods. Show map of Madison ## Other Car Parks Near the Engineering Campus Madison’s State Street Campus Garage is a city-operated alternative away from the campus facilities. It is at 430 N. Frances St., operates and enforces parking 24/7, including Sundays and holidays, and allows overnight parking (cityofmadison.com). The garage suits visitors who need a city facility rather than a university permit area. The State Street Campus Garage is an especially practical option for trips combining the university with central Madison destinations. Its city operation distinguishes it from the university’s Engineering Drive Ramp, while its round-the-clock enforcement means drivers should follow the posted city terms throughout the stay (cityofmadison.com). ## Parksy Spaces Near University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Engineering Two covered garage spaces are 1.2 mi from the campus, each priced at $250 a month. One is described as safe and convenient, while the other is secure and covered, making either a better fit for staff or students seeking a regular monthly base than for a short campus visit. For lower monthly costs, a secure car-storage space with 24/7 access is 3.5 mi away at $46 a month. Two outdoor lot spaces are 4.7 mi away, each priced at $31 a month, with one offering 24/7 access. The storage space suits drivers needing ongoing access, while the outdoor lots suit students or staff willing to park farther from 1415 Engineering Drive. The closest listed space is excluded because its price is not stated. ## Rail and Walking Access to UWCE The College of Engineering is at 1415 Engineering Drive, 1.3 mi from Madison center. The local parking information identifies campus facilities and the State Street Campus Garage, but it does not provide a station walking time that can be used here. For a rail-connected journey, drivers can combine a station arrival with a local walk or onward city connection rather than assuming a station is immediately beside the engineering buildings. The university’s visitor-parking information is centered on gated facilities and campus surface lots, while the city’s State Street Campus Garage provides an overnight-capable central parking option (transportation.wisc.edu; cityofmadison.com).
