Campus map and directions and a parking map are online. Parking is available in all university lots after 5PM, but we suggest you park in lot 26. If you are heading north on Washington Road, make a right onto Ivy lane and then make a left into the lot (if you reach the stadium, you’ve gone too far). You should be able to see the Lewis Science Library from the lot. Prior to the tour, we will be networking and having dinner in the Brush Gallery in the basement of McDonnell Hall.
To reach McDonnell Hall, walk down Washington Road past the science library and then past Fine Hall (the very tall building next to it). You will see a staircase into the next building. Go down these steps and you be in the Brush Gallery. If you need help, please call Elana Broch at 609-575-6495.
