Visitor Parking Information

bullet Visitors, Alumni and Retirees to the main campus may park in Visitor Lot 2.

bullet The booth at the entrance to Lot 2 booth (near the Student Union) will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Friday. After the booths are closed on Monday through Thursday, a valid Wright State University Dayton Campus parking permit is required for a vehicle to be parked legally.

  • Visitor spaces in lot 9, 10, 11, 15 and 20 – Visitors must obtain at no charge, a visitor permit from the attendant in the lot 2 booth and then proceed to park in a visitor space in lots 9, 10, 11, 15, or 20. The attendant will direct the visitor to the best lot based on the location of their visit and availability. Departments may also make request in advance at visitorparking@wright.edu to obtain a visitor permit to send to their guest.
  • Departments having more than five guests at the same time should always contact the Parking and Transportation Department at visitorparking@wright.edu.
  • Departments having the same guest(s) for multiple meeting dates during a quarter may request a visitor permit be issued for the multiple meeting dates by contacting our department at visitorparking@wright.edu.
  • Departments hosting large (100 or more attendees) events or conferences should schedule for parking arrangements well in advance and be considerate of the impact on our student parking when scheduling dates and times. As you are aware, during the months of September and October all lots on campus except Nutter Center are utilized to capacity, especially before 2:00 P..M. Visitor lot 2 has a capacity of 89 spaces and any overflow from lot 2 is directed to lot 4. During the months of September and October it may be necessary for the department hosting a large event to cover the expense to contract a charter company to shuttle their guests from the Nutter Center parking lots. Parking and Transportation can assist you with locating a local charter bus company. We recommend that carpooling be encouraged for all events.
