Parking and Directions
Parking is free on weekends. For the closest lot, follow Google Maps to “Non-visitor Parking Lot 3“. In the extremely unlikely event that that is full, use “Non-visitor Parking Lot 46“. The map below shows how to get from these lots to the Physics Building. Go straight back to the central atrium and room 185 will be on the right.
