Parking
The two main parking lots serving Kaul Auditorium are the West and North Parking lots (see map below). The West is the closest to the auditorium.
West Parking Lot
(enter off SE 28th Avenue, between Botsford Dr. and Woodstock Blvd.)
Approx. walking time: 2-4 minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: From April 2025-January 2026 construction is expected to affect the number of available parking spaces available in the West Lot. Please plan accordingly. We suggest you allow extra time for parking, take public transit, or hire a car service if this is an option for you.
The West Lot is located adjacent to Reed College’s Performing Arts Building and Kaul Auditorium. After parking, follow the sidewalk that curves uphill around the south side of the Performing Arts Building. This leads to the front entrance of Kaul Auditorium. You can also access Kaul by entering the Performing Arts Building and taking the elevator to the third floor. On the third floor exit the main glass doors and Kaul will be on your left.
North Parking Lot
Although the North Parking lot is located further from the concert hall, this is a good option as the parking lots can fill up quickly on concert days (and every day). Please allow extra time for parking, take public transit, or hire a car service if this is an option for you.

Those needing ADA access, are advised to park in the West Lot, located immediately adjacent to Reed College’s Performing Arts Building and Kaul Auditorium. There are 6 ADA parking spaces in the West Lot. From the parking lot, enter the main entrance of the Performing Arts Building.

Patrons with limited mobility who will be driven by a companion or car service may also be dropped off at the Kaul Auditorium entrance via Botsford Drive. From 28th Ave, enter Botsford Drive, take the last right at the end, pass under a portico, unload in front of Kaul, then turn back around to park in the West Parking lot.
