Parking and Transportation

There are several ways to get to the CSUMB campus. For route options, parking information, and detailed campus maps, please see the CSUMB Maps and Directions page.

Conference Location

  • CSUMB Library = Building 508 on the Campus Map
  • On Google Maps, search for “Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library” (this is the CSUMB Library)
  • On the campus map, yellow roads/segments are pedestrian-only (blocked to vehicles)

Parking

  • Parking on campus costs $5/day. The CSUMB Parking Services page explains how to purchase a daily permit.
  • You can either:
    • Buy a daily permit in advance (please print it and place it on your dashboard), or
    • Use the permit machines located in the parking lots

Recommended lot

  • We recommend parking lots 28 or 508, which are closest to the library. See the campus parking map. Lots 71 and 59 are also an option, but are farther away.
  • Please note: Lots 13 and 19, which are typically the closest drop-off areas to the library, are closed due to construction.
