Recruiter parking

The Office of Career Management is located on the 5th floor of the H. William Close Building in the Moore School of Business, which is on the corner of Pendleton and Barnwell streets.

Reserved parking spaces for recruiters are located on the top level of the parking deck immediately adjacent to the business building. When you arrive on campus, enter the deck from Barnwell Street (entrance is in front of Columbia Hall), pass the metered spaces, and drive to the rear of the deck. ONLY Reserved Spaces 309-323 are available for your use. Please DO NOT PARK IN SPACES 301-308. Occasionally a guard will block the entrance to the parking lot. Tell him/her that you are a recruiter and wish to park in our reserved spaces. Please be sure to display the parking pass provided to you in your rear window to avoid parking tickets.

The reserved spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If these spaces are filled when you arrive, check the metered spaces on the top level of the parking deck
