To all ILRI Ethiopia campus users:

To park on campus, register your vehicle at
ILRI Ethiopia Vehicle Registration & Parking Permit Form

As was mentioned in a previous email, to address the shortage of parking on campus, the Engineering & Facilities Unit and the Security Unit are implementing a new parking scheme for the campus to better utilize the parking we have. In this scheme, we are limiting overnight parking to certain vehicles in specific locations, and reserving all areas marked green for staff. Visitors will be limited to yellow parking zones. Security will start enforcing the new parking scheme by 15 August.

To register your vehicle, please fill out the from at ILRI Ethiopia Vehicle Registration & Parking Permit Form

Here is what you need to know:

Parking Zones

You may have noticed color coded parking zones have been created throughout the campus.

  • Green Zones will be for permanent & temporary staff parking. During the day, project & institutional vehicles may park in the green zones in order to conduct their business. No overnight parking will be allowed in the green zones.
  • Yellow Zones will be for visitor parking only. No overnight parking will be allowed in the yellow zones.
  • Red Zones will be for overnight parking. This area will primarily be for project and institutional vehicles which need to park overnight on campus. Staff who temporarily need to leave their personal vehicles on campus overnight may apply for a temporary overnight pass.

If you have a personal vehicle which you have parked permanently on the ILRI campus (other than for residents), now is the time to find it a new home.

Overnight Parking

Project and Institutional Vehicles which will remain on campus overnight will be issued red parking stickers which allow them to park in the red zones. These vehicles may move into the green zones during the day to conduct their business. No vehicle may be parked in green or yellow zones overnight. Private vehicles, other than those of campus residents, may not be parked overnight unless a temporary pass has been issued by the security office. If you need to park overnight on a temporary basis due to travel or other reasonable circumstance, you may send in a request for a temporary overnight pass. Those vehicles which will not be moved on a day to day basis will be parked in the overnight lot near the old barn.

All vehicles, personal and institutional, must be registered with security to receive your parking sticker. Please follow the link above to register your car by 10 August in order to receive your sticker by the 15th of August.

Campus users who violate the campus parking rules will receive a warning. The second offense will be reported to your supervisor. Repeat offenders will not be allowed to bring a vehicle onto the campus.
