Visitor Parking

Visitor Permits

The University of Glasgow has a small number of visitor parking at both Gilmorehill campus and Garscube campus which are available for pre-booking (subject to the relevant fee and availability).

A flat rate charge of £10 per day or £5 per half-day will be applicable. These charges are subject to annual review and spaces are subject to availability. A credit/debit card payment will be requested in order to make and confirm the booking. 

Full-Day   08:00-17:00
Half-Day  08:00-13:00 or 13:00-17:00

Outwith these times and at weekends, vehicles parking on campus will not require a permit and parking will be free of charge on our Gilmorehill and Garscube campuses.

No visitor parking is available at Tay House/Berkeley Square locations due to restrictions in building access.

All visitors must book a space prior to driving to campus.  On arrival, your vehicle registration will be scanned to ensure the booking is live and you will then be directed to the designated visitor parking bays on campus. All visitors parking MUST be within the designated visitor parking bays, or you may be subject to a Parking Notice Charge (PCN).

For special events being held at the University, specific parking arrangements can be organised. Please contact the Campus Parking Team for more information.

Visitors who hold a valid blue badge can also park on the campus at no cost. You are required to register and apply for a blue badge visitor permit and book in the same way.

Arriving on Campus (Gilmorehill)

Access to the main Gilmorehill campus is via Pearce Lodge gate, just off University Avenue.  When you arrive at the barrier, our Security team will greet you and check you have a booking.

Please inform them that you have a visitor parking space booked. They will scan your registration which will confirm the booking and they will then direct you to the visitor parking areas on campus.

The campus operates a one way system around the main campus buildings.  Exit from the campus is to follow the one way system and then head down towards Dumbarton Road Gatehouse where you will exit the campus.

Location of Visitor Bays

Visitor Bays are located at the north front of the campus and are clearly marked VISITOR BAYS ONLY. When you enter at Pearce Lodge gate, follow the road up and along the front of the main building (SOUTH FRONT), past the flagpole on your left.  After the flagpole take the next right into Professor Square, follow that road round and you will see the visitor bays just at the red letter box. These spaces will have cones in the bays so please move one of the cones to park.

This area is manned by our parking attendants so please ensure you have a confirmed booking before parking.

 

Booking Larger Vehicles on Campus

Due to certain height and width restrictions at the entrances to the main campus, we are limited to the size of vehicles that can be booked to park on campus. If you wish to book a visitor space but the vehicle is larger than that of a standard car, you must contact our Car Parking team initially, so we can review the request with our colleagues.
