Walking Directions from Parking to Event:
From George Washington Lot:
Exit the George Washington Parking Lot toward College Avenue. Turn right. Follow the signs and balloons down College Avenue. You will find the Cedric Rucker University Center on your right. Enter through the main doors and registration will be on your left.
From Alvey Parking Deck:
Park on any level of the Deck and make your way to the 4th level using the elevators farthest away from Route 1. On the 4th floor, just outside the elevators, you will see the pedestrian bridge to your left. There will be balloons and signage at this point. Follow the balloons and signage toward Campus Walk.
Campus Walk is a red brick walkway you’ll follow straight for majority of the trip. You will pass the Hurley Convergence Center on your left, followed by the Coffee House on your right. You’ll enter a brick tunnel with the Simpson Library on the right. Keep going!
You’ll enter the second brick tunnel shortly after the first, with outdoor seating and the Post Office on your left and a clock tower on your right. Still keep going!
The tunnel will end and you will see Spirit Rock on your left. Walk up the slight hill toward the fountain in Palmieri Plaza. You may find you want to stop and drink in hopes that you found the Fountain of Youth, but just keep going- You’re almost there! Bear to the right slightly following the red bricks and the signs and balloons.
YOU’RE ALMOST THERE! You will see a green electrical box on your right, and just past this is a concrete pathway. Follow this pathway to the lower-level entrance of the Cedric Rucker University Center. After you enter, you will see restrooms to your left and the Chandler Ballrooms ahead. Check in is ahead and to your right.
Too far to walk? How about a ride in a golf cart?
We will have two golf carts shuttling back and forth to the Cedric Rucker University Center. On the map above, locate the gold star near the exit of Alvey Green right after the Alvey pedestrian bridge.
These carts can hold up to 6 people in each run and will be running between 8:00 am and 8:50 am.
