Latest Updates
New car parking management system
The University’s existing in-house car parking management system is due to be replaced in the next Academic year (2022-2023). Updates will be shared via Inside Strathclyde and the "New Car Parking Management System" webpage.
The current no-guarantee ‘Right to Roam’ model has now ended.
Parking safety
With more staff travelling to campus, the car parks are now getting significantly busier. All staff are reminded to park on designated bays only, to prevent accidents and damage and ensure that our car parks remain safe for all users. Indiscriminate or dangerous parking will result in a vehicle being stickered. Any car park users found to be persistently not adhering to the rules will be prevented from accessing the car parks. Any staff who believe that they have parked within a designated parking space but have been stickered should contact the Car Parking Team, providing photographs where possible.
Experiencing problems with your staff card?
If you’re experiencing problems with accessing University car parks using your staff card, please inform us as soon as possible. It is important to swipe your card every time you use the car parks so that we can monitor demand on parking. Security Operatives on campus can give you access to a car park if needed, but if you are regularly experiencing problems with your staff card it is important you contact staffcards@strath.ac.uk to resolve this.
Visit the Travelling to Campus page for more updates.
Staff Permits
