The CARE Center is located on the Health Sciences Campus in Hudson Hall (right next to The Niche dining hall). We can get approval for you to park in the Pound Hall lot on Health Sciences Campus if you already have a parking permit for main campus; however, if you don't have a UGA permit of any kind you would need to use visitor parking (max daily fee of $10) when coming to work in the lab.

I understand that the CARE Center/Institute of Gerontology is located on Health Sciences Campus, and what that means for me in terms of parking options.Other
