- Brown has a Visitor Parking Lot in the Power Street Garage at 111 Power Street. The entrance is at the intersection of Power and Thayer Streets. They accept credit cards and bills but do not give change. This detailed map of the Brown campus can help familiarize you with the area.
- Bowen Street and others further north become all-day free parking at 10 AM. We recommend arriving a few minutes earlier to avoid the rush.
- There are parking spaces for Brown employees only on Charlesfield, Thayer, Benevolent, George, Brook, and Brown Streets from 8 AM to 12 PM. Parking in one of these "Brown Permit Required" spots will result in a fine.
