Parking

Our Visitors Center is undergoing renovations this fall. We are temporarily located in the lobby of Swan Hall on Upper College Rd.

Admission visitors may proceed directly to the visitor parking lot on Briar Lane (no parking pass is necessary): enter the campus from Route 138 at Upper College Rd. Proceed to the first intersection and make a right on Briar Lane. Make a left after the police station and before Kingston Pizza into the parking lot. The Visitor Center in Swan Hall is just a short walk from there across Upper College Rd, where you will receive a map of campus and directions to the Memorial Union, which is where all tours begin.
