Lakeshore Center Parking Information
With the construction surrounding the Lakeshore Center, visitor parking in the vicinity of this building can be challenging. If you have a red or black faculty/staff parking permit, you may park in available parking spaces designated for Michigan Tech faculty/staff parking at the Lakeshore Center; however, having a Michigan Tech faculty/staff permit does not guarantee you a parking spot there. If you are visiting the Lakeshore Center for a meeting or event, it is suggested that you arrive early.
If a parking space is not available for your visit, please consider and plan extra time for the following options:
- You can park temporarily (up to two hours) in any City of Houghton parking area signed as free two-hour parking.
- You can park temporarily (up to two hours) south of Dee Stadium along Lakeshore Drive.
In addition, a portion of the lot east of Krist Oil Company gas station (along East Lakeshore Drive) and a portion of the Grace United Methodist Church lot (three blocks south of the Lakeshore Center) are designated as free parking by the City of Houghton. The spaces provided in these lots are limited, so it is best to utilize the first two options listed above.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your parking permit or locations, please contact the Transportation Services office at 906-487-1441 or email parking@mtu.edu.
