Parking Policy

Purpose

This page describes the BIC's policy on the use of its on-campus parking spaces.

**Please note, parking permits may be obtained for either BIC facility requesting them through this form: https://ut.service-now.com/sp?id=ut_bs_service_detail&sys_id=5a6d91631bff3c94c9eeeb93604bcb28 .

DIRECTIONS TO THE BIOMEDICAL IMAGING CENTER at NHB
DO NOT USE NAVIGATION APPS (e.g. Google maps, Waze, etc.)! They will mislead you. Take Dean Keeton St. to Speedway, and turn South. Do not attempt to approach Speedway on 24th St.; it is no longer possible to access Speedway from those routes. As of December 2016, this stretch of Speedway is only accessible from Dean Keeton St. Note that there are “Do Not Turn” signs posted at the intersection of Dean Keeton and Speedway. Your parking permit exempts you from that prohibition, and you may turn onto Speedway without fear of being ticketed. The two BIC parking spaces are on the right (West side of Speedway) about 100 feet south of Dean Keeton St. Park in either of those two spaces and be sure to display your parking permit on the dash of your car. You will be ticketed unless it is visible. Look for the giant outdoor art piece called Monochrome for Austin (pictured below) in front of the Norman Hackerman Building. Walk under the art piece, turn right on 24th, and enter the building using the entrance on 24th St. Take the elevator to the basement. Turn right out of the elevator vestibule, and use the BIC main entrance down the hall on the left.

DIRECTIONS TO THE BIOMEDICAL IMAGING CENTER at HDB
Take East 15th St. to Trinity St. The two BIC parking spaces are located within the Health Center Garage (HCG) marked on the map below. Enter the garage and follow the entry route to the secondary garage entrance with the parking gate. Use the parking pass supplied to you and scan the QR code on the parking permit. Once into the gate, the two BIC parking spaces are 5-6 parking spaces to the right after passing the gate. The parking spots have large BIC participant only parking signs. Please park in either of those two spaces and be sure to display your parking permit on the dash of your car. You will be ticketed unless it is visible. Make your way back toward the entry gates and enter the building where the elevator vestibule is located, just to the left of the garage offices. Take the elevator to the ground level. Turn right or left out of the elevator vestibule and go through the doors out into the courtyard between the two buildings. Go across the courtyard and into the main entrance to the Health Discovery Building (HDB). Once inside the main doors, make an immediate left. The BIC waiting area will be on your left hidden behind a short wall. Look for the frosted glass windows, the door will be to the left.

NHB Parking Policy

The BIC has two parking spaces at the Northeast corner of Dean Keeton and Speedway. The use of these spaces requires the use of a permit displayed on the dashboard of the parked car. Permits may be obtained by requesting them from this form: https://ut.service-now.com/sp?id=ut_bs_service_detail&sys_id=5a6d91631bff3c94c9eeeb93604bcb28 . The permits must list the valid date and times (to be limited using the schedules described below). Researchers may provide permits on paper or electronically. When provided on paper, the permit must be filled out completely, listing the dates and times. When provided electronically, the researcher must use Adobe Acrobat Pro to fill out the valid date and times on the form. Under no circumstances shall blank permits be issued – electronically or on paper.
The BIC parking spaces are reserved for research subjects and may not be used for any other purpose unless approved by the Operations Administrator or Director. The use of these two spaces requires a prior reservation on the FOM scheduling system and the use of a permit displayed on the dash of the parked car. Users may reserve the parking spaces for no more than 30 minutes prior to an imaging study and 45 minutes after, or three hours total, whichever is less. If more than that amount of time is needed for a subject, users must direct them to park at Speedway Garage. Occasional use of the garage can be supported by the IRC as part of the imaging costs. However, if the use of the garage will be more routine, then a shared payment of parking fees must be arranged by the PI of the study with the BIC. If you are unsure which category applies to you, you should inquire before scheduling any research subjects.

HDB Parking Policy

The BIC has two parking spaces in the Health Center Garage (HCG). The use of these spaces requires a permit to be scanned to get a participant into and out of the HCG and should be displayed on the dashboard of the parked car. Permits may be obtained by requesting them with this form https://ut.service-now.com/sp?id=ut_bs_service_detail&sys_id=5a6d91631bff3c94c9eeeb93604bcb28. The permits must list the valid date and times (to be limited using the schedules described below). Researchers may provide permits on paper or electronically. When provided on paper, the permit must be filled out completely, listing the dates and times. When provided electronically, the researcher must use Adobe Acrobat Pro to fill out the valid date and times on the form. Under no circumstances shall blank permits be issued – electronically or on paper. The participant should be instructed to scan the QR code on the permit to open the gate to enter the garage and again to open the gate to exit the garage. The BIC parking spaces are located 5-6 spots after the HCG entry gate on the right. Two large signs indicate the parking spots are for BIC participants only, even during events.
The BIC parking spaces are reserved for research subjects and may not be used for any other purpose unless approved by the Operations Administrator or Director. The use of these two spaces requires a prior reservation on the FOM scheduling system and the use of a permit displayed on the dash of the parked car. Users may reserve the parking spaces for no more than 30 minutes prior to an imaging study and 45 minutes after, or three hours total, whichever is less. If more than that amount of time is needed for a subject, please get approval from the Operations Administrator or Director.
