The following list identifies the largest main campus parking garages of Big Ten Conference (a.k.a. Big 18) universities — Illinois Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State, Purdue, Rutgers, UCLA, USC, Washington and Wisconsin.
For those reading this post from outside the United States, the Big Ten Conference maintains its old name even though it has more than ten (currently 18) member schools.
Mowatt Garage at Maryland – Source: facebook.comA minimum of 200 parking spaces was required for inclusion on the list. The list does not include privately owned parking garages nor those garages located at branch campuses outside the home city of the main campus. Some of these schools have a medical center at or adjacent to the main campus for which data is also included.
Peace!
