Parking

The CH2 lot (1st & Grace) is your best bet. As a part of membership, you will receive a CH parking hang tag that you can use in the 24/7 access lot on 90 E. Grace Street. There are 24 designated spots that are demarcated: “CH.” Please ensure that your hang tag is visible on your rearview mirror.

Additional overflow parking spaces are available in VCU’s 200 N. Henry St. deck. In order to utilize this deck, simply print your VCU-issued parking permit at home or swing by Concierge to pick one up (please note that these are re-issued monthly). Please also plan to keep your Common House-issued hang tag visible, as that’s how we ensure parking is reserved for members only.

If the lot is full, there is also ample free street parking on Franklin, Grace, Broad, Marshall, and Clay Streets. We also suggest these alternatives that are proximal to the House.

We Can’t Wait to Learn, Connect, and Grow with you!
