The lots immediately surrounding the Powers Administration Building are gated. However, sometimes the gates are left up. If this is the case, feel free to park in these lots if you can find a spot. Otherwise, there is metered parking on Park Street, Smith Street, and State Street. There is also relatively inexpensive parking in the Providence Place garage, which is a 5-10 minute walk from our offices. The north garage is closer, and often has more available spots. There is also free parking in the surrounding neighborhoods, if you are willing to walk a bit.
