Ulrich Museum Visitor Parking MapParking on Campus
Construction on Perimeter Road is complete, and two-way traffic once again passes in front of the Ulrich Museum (see map at right). Replacing the road underneath the skywalks between the Ulrich and the School of Art and Design (McKnight Art Center West) is a new outdoor plaza area connecting the two buildings. Traffic now moves between Wilner Auditorium and McKnight West and connects to Alumni Drive near Memorial ’70, but parking will not be allowed on the new road. Ulrich Museum visitor parking is available on the east side of Fairmount Street just south of the museum. Additional parking is available south of Henrion Gymnasium, across 17th Street, in the WSU student parking lot. Visitors are welcome to park in the student lots south of 17th Street or north of Alumni Drive after 5 p.m. weeknights and all weekend, but displaying a WSU visitor parking pass is necessary during business hours Monday-Friday. For a WSU visitor parking pass, please call the museum at (316) 978-3664.
