Parking Vehicles
UBC parking has marked our parking spots for departmental vehicles as follows: Stalls R274, R275 and R276 (the Dodge Caravan, Ford Ranger and Prius can be parked in any of these stalls). Stall R273 is reserved for the Dean's use only. As usual, all other stalls in the area have been assigned for other purposes, and our vehicles will be towed if parked in any other spaces.
What if an unauthorized user is parked in the LFS departmental spots?
- Record the license plate (preferably take a photo), make and model of the unauthorized vehicle as well as the specific parking spot (i.e. R273, R274, R275 or R276). Call UBC parking: 1-604-822-6786 with the preceding information, and ask them to tow the vehicles from spot.
- Place the sign located in the glove compartment "This is an LFS vehicle..." onto the dash, indicating the vehicle will be moved to the correct parking spot once the unauthorized user has been removed.
- You can park in the B4 lot (across from Forestry) or at the MacMillan loading bay.
- When you hand in your keys, notify the receiver of where the vehicle is parked, as there may be another user booked immediately after you.
- Notify lfs.vehicle@ubc.ca of the temporary location and make of the vehicle (i.e. Prius, Caravan, or Ranger).
