Parking and driver assistance

We have designated parking areas on campus for use by students, faculty, staff and visitors. CLC parking lots are idle-free zones. All students, faculty, staff and visitors are asked to abide by the parking rules and regulations as established by the College of Lake County Police Department.

Where to park

Parking for students, staff and visitors is available in the CLC Lakeshore Campus parking facility located at 30 N. Sheridan Rd., just east of the Lakeshore Campus South Building, 33 N. Genesee St.

All vehicles and pedestrians need to vacate the parking lot by closing hours as it will remain locked until 7 a.m. Vehicles that remain within the garage after closing can be accessed the following college business day.

All vehicles must be parked on pavement between the yellow parking lines. Parking on roadways, sidewalks or parking lot traffic lanes is not permitted. Students are not allowed to park in the areas designated for faculty, staff and visitors. Faculty and staff must display a parking permit to park in any posted staff parking areas.
Handicap parking is available throughout the campus. Use of a handicap parking space requires the display of a window permit or state issued handicap license plate.
