The rise in private vehicles has led to the rise in the demand for parking, and this demand calls for the need of existing parking areas to be fully optimized in order to accommodate as much vehicles as possible. With the utilization of linear programming, a proposed optimization of the Enrique Razon Sports Center parking in DLSU, Manila is proposed. Since its current driveway is much wider than the minimum width required by the Building Code of the Philippines, it is narrowed down in order to make room for more parking slots. The Simplex Method was used in order to obtain the maximized parking area on each floor, which resulted in the addition of 36 slots per floor. This optimization will increase the building's parking capacity and will bring added convenience to the Lasallian academic community. © 2019 IEEE.
