If your car is not registered on campus you always need to register at the information/reception desk. Takes 5 min. Every building has one.
I found it easiest to drive to the underground parking, its free and only a short walk through the campus to the center.
Yes parking very big
Multiple options.
There is a parking structure next to the Visitor Center, just park and walk in.
I talked to security when I arrived there, they said guest parking didn't need a pass.
