  Parking:

  Due to construction, there is no handicapped parking adjacent to the Library.

  There are several Handicapped Parking spaces at the corner of Ferst Drive and Cherry Street [view map] - however, in addition to the state-issued disability placard or license plate, a Georgia Tech Parking Permit must also be displayed to use these spaces. The Library Main Entrance is located on Cherry Street, approximately 100 yards from these spaces.

  For visitors who do not have a Georgia Tech Parking Permit, the nearest lot is the Student Center Visitor Lot - however, elevator access from the Student Center level may not be available on evenings and weekends.
