Parking and entry for the Saint Paul Opportunity Center and Dorothy Day Residence

When you arrive

The volunteer entrance to Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Saint Paul Opportunity Center is located on the east side of the building, adjacent to the parking lot. When you arrive, the door will be locked. Please use the keypad to the left of the door and enter in the code. You will receive your code in the reminder email sent to you just prior to the event. Please watch your emails for this very important information.

Once inside, go immediately to the right and again use the keypad to the left of the door and enter in the same code. Proceed down the hallway to the second door on your left, Volunteer Center, which will be unlocked. You must sign in, put on your volunteer badge and proceed to the kitchen through the back door (not the one you entered from the hallway). Please do not forget to sign out when you leave.

Parking

Although it appears we have ample parking, this is a shared lot and we have increased the number of staff and volunteers that will be onsite. We are encouraging carpooling, ridesharing and public transportation whenever possible. Our campus is in a concentrated downtown neighborhood and we are doing all we can to provide easy parking for our volunteers, visitors and staff. Please help us out by closely following the instructions below.

Our parking lot is adjacent to the building and accessible from St. Joseph’s Lane. You will need your code to enter the lot. You will receive your code in the REMINDER email sent to you just prior to the event. Please watch your emails for this very important information. The area marked lot B is closest to the entrance and you may also park in lot A. If all spots are filled in both lots, please make your way to one of the following options below.

  • Street Parking – pay stations are located on every street.
  • Smith Avenue Ramp (145 Smith Ave N St. Paul 55102) – accessed from Smith Avenue.
  • Municipal Ramp 7A (13 West Exchange Street St. Paul 55101) – accessed only from Exchange Street.
