Event Parking
The WPI Police will provide event organizers with special parking instructions regarding parking in designated areas. Organizers of large events should work with WPI Police to arrange for traffic control and safety and parking away from heavily used areas of the campus (at a minimum a one week notification is needed).
Temporary permits are not necessary when attending campus wide events, such as athletic events, concerts, commencement, etc. However, visitors must not park in fire lanes, service vehicle space, or any area designated as a TOW ZONE area.
Note: When WPI Police or the Events Office are asked to reserve parking spaces, the requester shall arrange the following, otherwise the spaces cannot be held:
- A paid detail officer.
- A representative of the group shall be be present to direct their guests to their reserved parking area.
- If parking spaces are reserved in the morning for a later event, the detail officer or designee is only required to assist with parking during the time of guest arrival.
