Free parking is available in the lot east of the ISU Alumni Center (Iowa State Center Lot A2/A3). There is currently construction in the parking area in preparation for the CyTown development. We are in luck! All the roads are open and the parking we will use is finished. Keep scrolling down for a map of the parking lots to use. Handicap-accessible parking spots are available on both the east and west sides of the ISU Alumni Center.
Getting There:
Both the Best Western Plus Inn and Suites and the ISU Alumni Center are on the south side of Ames, just north of Highway 30 near the Iowa State Center (Hilton Coliseum, Jack Trice Stadium, etc.). The closest commercial airport is the Des Moines International Airport (DSM), about 40 miles away.
Parking
There are a few parking spots available on the Beach Avenue side of the building, but most spaces are available in Lots A4 and A3 as shown below.
