Find parking near Auraria Campus Science Building

The Auraria Campus Science Building sits in the heart of Denver’s shared Auraria higher education campus, home to the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Community College of Denver. This modern facility hosts labs, classrooms, and research spaces for biology, chemistry, and earth and atmospheric sciences, drawing students, faculty, visiting researchers, and prospective students throughout the week. Because it is part of a busy downtown campus adjacent to major roads like Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway, traffic can be steady, especially around class change times and during nearby events, making it wise to think about where you will park before you arrive.

Parking on the Auraria Campus is managed centrally, with a mix of garages, surface lots, and limited metered spaces, and payment is typically required at all times with strict enforcement of permits, time limits, and pay-by-plate rules. Street parking in the surrounding downtown area is heavily regulated, often capped at short time limits or subject to residential and meter restrictions, so relying on casual curbside spaces can be difficult and may risk tickets or towing. Planning parking near Auraria Campus Science Building in advance helps you compare options, avoid circling busy campus roads, and head straight to a paid space that fits your schedule and budget. Because campus policies and city rules can change, visitors should always review the latest official campus parking information and City of Denver regulations before their trip.
