Visitor Parking Information

Visitors will need to obtain a daily parking pass to avoid being ticketed. Visitor parking passes allow for vehicles to be parked in the lot next to the building or in the large residential parking lot "the cage" next to the Vet Med complex on Duck Pond Drive.

To get to the Vet Med Library, visitors must stop at the Small Animal Hospital service desk and get a visitor's pass to enter the building.

1. The Vet Med Library is open to the public. For visitors who do not have keycard access to the building, you must request a visitor pass at the Small Animal Hospital. A current photo ID is required to obtain a visitor's pass. 
   • Check the Vet Med Library's "Resources" page for current hours.
     
      
2. Once a visitor pass (keycard) has been issued, go back into the foyer and swipe the keycard at the access point next to the glass doors that lead down the long hallway.
    
3. Follow the hallway; it will first bend to the right, then as you get to the area where it forks (mirror ball on the ceiling) follow the hallway to the left (as shown in the image)
   
    
4. Shortly down the hall you will come to a room with the glass doors (this will be on your left). 
   
    
5. Enter that room (also known as the "waterfall room") and on the right hand side of that room once you enter, there is a glass door that is the entrance to the Veterinary Medicine Library.
   

When you leave the library, return to the Small Animal Hospital to return the visitor pass and pick up your photo ID.
