Where to Park!
Use the driveway to park behind the building at no cost. The driveway is accessible from Los Altos Ave. on the south side of the building.
It may be difficult to see around the corner of the building as you approach the parking lot. Please drive slowly when you enter, and watch out for other students unloading studio equipment or supplies.
Parking on the street is free. However, we recommend parking behind the building (not on the road) instead to load and unload your studio supplies or equipment.
