Parking

Parking at the University of Wisconsin-Madison without planning ahead will likely dampen your visit here. To help alleviate this we have provided information on several campus parking lots that are near the UWBC. If you need information on how to reach the Center directly, see our Driving Directions page. Or see our location on Google maps here.

Free parking is available in all three of these lots after 4:30 PM and on weekends unless there is a special event such as a UW Badgers home game.
