Our building is a large, dark gray and dark blue rectangular building with a large “Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship” sign on the side of it. The parking lot is right across the street in the police parking lot, which is the first right after you turn onto Remington Ave, before the light gray building with the beige stripes. You are welcome to park in this lot as long as you like, free of charge.
Street parking is also available, but the lot usually has ample parking. Here is a Google Maps pin to help you find the parking lot's location.
ACCESSIBILITY AND UNLOADING PARKING:
If you require handicapped parking or need to park closer to the building to unload large items, you are welcome to park in the small lot out front of the building (the large dark gray and dark blue rectangular building with a large “Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship” sign on the side of it).
All spaces are available EXCEPT the marked Zip Car space and the spaces reserved for the Baltimore Glass Company.
The entrance is wheelchair accessible, and there is an elevator to the second floor. Feel free to contact us if you need any additional accommodations (PavaCenter@jh.edu).
