Parking.

There are many ways to get to the JKU. The biggest question students ask themselves when driving to campus is: Where can I park?  The JKU campus is a car-free zone, however there are parking lots located close to campus.

There are two parking lots near campus, one underground car park located below the Science Park, and a parking structure (enter on Mengerstraße). In total, there are approximately 1,700 parking spaces available, of which about 500 spots are for short-term parkers. The rest is reserved for long-term parkers.  You can access the main campus P1 parking lot from Altenberger Straße or from  Mengerstraße.
 

PLEASE NOTE: CONSTRUCTION since October 2022

Construction is currently underway at the JKU, impacting parking as follows:

  • Please use the Mengerstraße entrance (and arrive preferably from Johann-Wilhelm-Klein Straße/Freistädter Straße). 
  • The main campus entrance (Altenberger Straße) only goes as far as the Management Center, and access to the west-side parking lot is closed as of the Management Center, meaning there are only a few temporary parking spaces available on the main entrance side.

Car-Free Campus

The JKU campus is a car-free zone. The parking spaces on campus are only for handicap parking, service vehicles, emergency vehicles, and/or deliveries between 6.00 AM - 9.00 AM.

Semester Parking Permit-Sales

Students can purchase a semester parking permit at the Department of Facilities Management. The authorization will be booked on your JKU Student ID Card. The permit costs €156 for the semester and can be paid for by using your ATM card.  When entering or exiting the parking lot, place the chip on your JKU card on the black reader field on the machine to raise the parking barrier. Please note that you can only park in the open-area spaces and not in the underground parking garage in the Science Park.
