Parking on Bard Campus

Please Respect Bard

Parking Rules

We are guests on the Bard Campus. Parking spaces can be difficult to find during peak hours.

Parking on Bard's campus

Parking on Bard’s campus has been challenging for some time now, and this fall semester will not be easier. Bard administration has asked LLI to help reduce the number of cars parking on campus and be mindful of the parking lots that are designated for faculty and staff.

That said, please refer to the map below. The Olin visitors’ lot is our primary lot and one of three that are open to the public. The other two are the Kline lot and Fisher Center lots. The Main lot is reserved for Bard faculty and staff, but may be used by LLI members only when the Olin lot is full and no other choice is available. Also:

  • Always display your Bard parking hangtag on your rearview mirror with the number facing out
  • To avoid possible towing, Bard Security must have your cell phone number so they can contact you if there is a problem with your vehicle when parked on campus. Contact Stacey Adams at [email protected] to update any cell phone or vehicle information

Please note the following and help us cooperate with Bard:

1. Please try to carpool with a friend or two. That can lead to a big reduction in the number of cars on campus.  We’re currently gauging interest in carpooling.  Please take our short survey. If we have sufficient interest, we will attempt to connect drivers with riders. 

2. Do not park on the grass or in the roadway.

3. Park at the Kline lot on Annandale Road. Use caution when parking in this lot, as it has no lines and is usually full.

4. Park at the Fisher Center and walk to Olin, or ride the shuttle bus back to Robbins and walk from there. Note that the shuttle and class schedules do not align with one exception. Here is the Bard campus Shuttle Schedule.

  • Fisher to Kline is a 5 minute shuttle ride.
  • Shuttle departs:      8:40, 9:25,  11:10, 11:56, 2:56.
  • Period start times:  8:30, 10:10, 11:50, 1:40,  3:10.
  • Note: only the 5th period shuttle lines up with LLI course times.

5. Make sure your LLI hangtags are prominently displayed when parking anywhere on campus to avoid having your car towed.

Please contact Robert Beaury with any questions or concerns at [email protected].

disability access parking

  • LLI Members with NYS Disability Access tags may use any available space designated as Disability Access. To park closest to most classroom locations, look for spaces on Campus Road near Olin Hall, near the entrance to the Language Center, in the Commuter/Visitor Lot near Olin Hall (northwest section) and on the Main Lot (north and west sides)  
  • Always display both the Disability Access tag and the Bard vehicle hangtag when parking in all designated Disability Access spaces.

Please follow Parking Rules

There is limited parking and we share with Bard students, faculty, staff, and other guests on campus.
