Parking at DePaul’s Loop Campus in Downtown Chicago

DePaul University has no parking facilities of its own in the Loop Campus area. However, many private facilities offer discounts for DePaul students, staff and visitors.

Tickets can be validated in the lobby of each downtown campus building.

If you are driving from I-90/94, take Exit 51 at Monroe Street and go east for about a mile until you reach Wabash Street, the street that goes under the ``L’’ train bridge. There are two possibilities. First, you can cross Wabash and park at the Self Park that is half block away on the right. Second, you turn right (south) on Wabash and park at the Self Park facility that is about a block away, on the right. If you continue south on Wabash, there is a valet parking right past Jackson Blvd.

If you come from the Lake Shore Drive, take Michigan Avenue, and then turn on Adams going west. The first Self Park is ½ block away, on the right. If you continue, you can turn left on Wabash and reach the other two parking places.

After ticket validation at DePaul, the self park will cost you about $8 on weekends and after 4PM weekdays ($21 before 4PM), and the valet park is $12 per day at any time.

Here is a longer list of parking facilities:
