Parking on Bard Campus

Please Respect Bard

Parking Rules

We are guests on the Bard Campus. Parking can be limited during peak hours.

Parking on Bard's campus

Parking on Bard’s campus can be limited, particularly on Fridays when LLI classes are in session. Bard has asked LLI members to help reduce parking congestion and to be mindful of parking areas reserved for faculty and staff.

Please review the parking map below before arriving on campus.

Preferred Parking Areas
The following parking lots are open to LLI members and visitors:

  • Olin Visitor Lot (primary parking area)
  • Kline Lot
  • Fisher Center Lots

The Main Lot is primarily reserved for Bard faculty and staff. LLI members should use this lot only when the Olin Visitor Lot, Kline Lot, and Fisher Center lots are full.

Vehicle Registration and Hangtags
All LLI members must register their vehicles with Bard Security and display their Bard parking hangtag whenever parked on campus. Follow directions to apply online then pick up your pass at Bard.

Please:

  • Display your hangtag prominently from your rearview mirror with the number facing outward.
  • Keep your vehicle registration information current.
  • Notify Bard Security if you change vehicles or cell phone numbers.

It is important that Bard Security have your current cell phone number so they can contact you if there is an issue involving your vehicle.

To update your information, contact Stacey Adams at [email protected].

Accessible Parking

LLI members with valid New York State Parking Permit for People with Disabilities may use any available parking space designated for Disability Access.

Parking spaces closest to most LLI classroom locations can be found:

  • Along Campus Road near Olin Hall
  • Near the entrance to the Language Center
  • In the Commuter/Visitor Lot near Olin Hall (northwest section)
  • In the Main Lot (north and west sides)

When parking in an accessible parking space, please display both:

  • Your accessible parking permit or plate, as required by law
  • Your Bard parking hangtag

Displaying both credentials helps Bard Security identify authorized vehicles and ensures continued access to these spaces for LLI members who need them.

How You Can help

1. Carpool whenever possible. Sharing rides with fellow members can significantly reduce the number of vehicles on campus.

2. Park only in designated parking areas. Do not park on grass, roadways, fire lanes, or other non-designated spaces.

3. Consider the Kline Lot. Located on Annandale Road, it provides additional parking capacity. Please use caution when parking there, as parking spaces are not individually marked and the lot often fills quickly.

4. Always display your Bard hangtag. Vehicles without visible hangtags may be subject to enforcement or towing.

Questions?
If you have questions about parking or campus logistics, please contact [email protected].

Thank you for helping LLI maintain a positive relationship with Bard College and for doing your part to keep campus parking safe and accessible for everyone.
