Parking

Visitor parking is located in Lots 5 and 6 (not 6A).  Lot 6 is located west of the Western Centennial Auditorium. Both parking lots charge $0.60 per hour and tickets are available at the ticket dispenser located at each entrance. Free parking may also be available on the streets surrounding the university for up to two hours, however, please be aware of and observe all City of Brandon and Brandon University parking signage and regulations.

Guests arriving by bus must park in Lot 5 at the corner of Princess & 20th Street. Bus drivers may drop students off at the north entrance of the A.E. McKenzie Building and must proceed to Lot 5. Bus drivers are required to pay the parking fee of $.60 per hour.  Please do not park your bus on the street as traffic vision is blocked for regular university students/traffic.

We are not responsible for any parking tickets incurred during your visit, so please make sure you purchase the correct amount of tickets and display them on your front dash.
