- For visits to the House 2 hours or less, please park on University Drive west of Clarence Ave.
- For visits two hours or longer, park in the ONE volunteer parking space in the lot (if open). Alternatively, you can park in a family parking space in the lot if there is one available. If you are parking in the lot, you MUST register with the front desk to ensure we are able to contact you while on your volunteer shift in case of needing to move your vehicle for emergencies. Unregistered vehicles may be towed.
