Parking
PARKING FOR BUSES AND LARGE VEHICLES
Parking for school buses and large vans must be made by reservation for all Krannert Center Youth Series performances. You will find a space on your ticket order form to reserve parking. Krannert Center covers the costs of curbside parking for buses and school vans, located at bagged meters on the streets surrounding Krannert Center starting with Gregory Street. Depending on the number of buses expected at a performance, there may not be bagged meters on all of the surrounding streets.
PARKING FOR CARS AND MINIVANS
Metered parking is available curbside and within the Krannert Center parking garage (enter from Illinois Street), at a rate of $1.25 per hour. University meters use the following parking apps only: MobileMeter,
ParkMobile, and PayByPhone. If your vehicle clearance is greater than 6 feet 2 inches, you will need to use curbside parking.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS AND ACCESS NEEDS
In the parking garage, at least three accessible parking spaces are available on each level, and the lower (Yellow) section off Illinois Street has a van-only parking spot. If you are parking on Illinois Street, the upper level entrance provides a fully accessible, ADA-compliant entry into the garage. If you are parking on Oregon Street, the ramp to the upper level from Oregon Street provides a fully accessible entrance to the Lobby.
PARKING FOR BICYCLES
You can find bike parking on the south side of Krannert Center near the Oregon Street entrance to the parking garage. Additional bike parking is on the north side of the Center, across Illinois Street and adjacent to the Illinois Street Residence Hall.
