Travel, driving and parking

Car parking on our Middlesbrough and Darlington campuses is limited and there is currently a long waiting list, so a parking space on campus is not guaranteed. As our main campus is located in Middlesbrough town centre, there are other nearby parking options. You may need to make arrangements to park in the local pay and display car parks. Please see below for more information or email carparking@tees.ac.uk to discuss accessible parking and other parking options.
