Parking

This guide includes UMTRI parking information. There is designated visitor parking in front of the building and visitor permits are available at the reception desk. For those with U-M parking stickers, we have Yellow designated lots.

Accessibility

The parking lot south of the UMTRI entrance has three accessible parking spots. Two spots require a yellow parking pass, while the third spot requires a visitor pass. The parking spots are about 150 feet to UMTRI’s main entrance, which has two sets of double doors controllable with an accessible button. UMTRI’s elevators are just to the left of the main entrance, and the main UMTRI conference room is just beyond the elevators. Accessible restrooms are also located off of the main lobby.

Wireless

UMTRI provides wireless network access free of charge to visitors. The wireless SSID “MGuest” is serviced by the University’s Information Technology Services. It is open and insecure with no encryption supplied by the network. The network has a limited set of service ports and is treated like a non-U-M network. For more information on the MGuest wireless network, including how to connect, please visit this ITS page on the MGuest service.
