Directions and Parking

My office is Gates 310, which is on the third floor of Gates Hall. Gates is in grid F-7 of the campus map. If you are driving to campus, one good place to park is Parking Structure 1 (E-7 on the map). There are guest parking slots on the first floor at the south end of the garage (near Roth Way). There is a credit-card machine by the stairs, where you can pre-pay for the amount of time you will be parked. Place the receipt on your dashboard. There are additional parking spaces with meters at the north end of the garage; the meters take a lot of quarters (6 per hour) but you can pre-pay at the credit-card machine and place the receipt on your dashboard instead of feeding the meter. You can also use any other metered parking space on campus using the same mechanism.

Warning: Parking Structure 1 has become popular lately, and recent visitors have sometimes found all its parking spaces taken, especially around lunchtime. I recommend bringing the parking map with you so you can try alternate spots if Parking Structure 1 is full.
