Parking for Sunday Services
Parking for Sunday Services is available in the Littauer lot, directly behind Littauer Hall until 2:00 p.m. Access to this lot is from Oxford Street. From the driveway off Oxford Street, continue on through the SEAS Lot; Littauer is at the end. Note that vehicles parked in the assigned spaces of the adjacent lot (AUST) will be towed. Vehicular access to Harvard Yard is severely limited, and is restricted to those with mobility difficulties only. Vehicular access is only available through the Widener Library Gate off of Massachusetts Avenue. Vehicles must not be left on the pathways, where they interfere with the passage of official University and emergency traffic.
