Parking

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.

Parking For People With Disabilities

All parking for people with disabilities is in the garage under the building. The entrance ramp goes from the parking lot towards the building. Take a ticket to open the gate, and follow the signs to the handicapped parking near the garage elevators. Take the elevator to the Ground or first floor, and then transfer to the building elevator to reach other floors.

Once In The Building

Sign in at the reception desk on the first floor, then take the elevator to the third floor. Turn right out of the elevators, and follow the signs to our offices.
