Parking Locations

Notice that parking is free on weekends anywhere that is green in this pdf map. The lots labled Squires Lot F/S/V and Architecture Annex/Media Lots (top righ hand corner) are the closest lots to the venue. Metered parking spaces are also available for short–term visitors on–campus. Visitors with parking permits may not park free at parking meters.

NOTE: The competition is being held in the Graduate Life Center Multipurpose Room. You can enter to the main entrance of the building but we recommend entering in the side entrance, closest to the Squires parking lot as that entrance leads directly to the entrance of the Multipurpose room.
