Directions to the NEPA Brain Bee

Take Interstate 81 (North or South) to Exit 185, the President Biden Expressway, (northbound Exit 185 is a left-hand exit). If you need directions that start a bit farther away, click here.

Follow the Central Scranton Expressway for approximately 1.5 miles down into the city. As you approach the city you have the opportunity to bear right onto a smaller road- DO NOT do this.

Stay with the main road by bearing to the left, up onto an overpass where you will merge with traffic. Ahead (and overhead) of you will be a railroad overpass. Stay in the right lane.

Just after you go under the railroad overpass there is a light (Jefferson Ave.). Make a very sharp right onto Madison Ave. Go straight until you reach a stop sign. From there you can park on Madison Ave., Linden St. (the street perpendicular to the stop sign you are at), or you can go to any of the parking lots/garages highlighted on the map below.

Our friendly folks at campus security have ensured us that you may park in any campus lot, providing you avoid specifically designated spots (e.g., the President's, or Campus Security's). You can also park for free on city streets as the meters are not monitored on Saturday. Campus lots are indicated in gray on the map below.

The Bee is on the 1st floor of the Loyola Science Center. There are two entrances to this building. Please use the Ridge Row entrance shown on the map below. Registration will be held just inside the door and the Bee will be held in the auditorium (room 133).

Because the multiple choice test will be administered first, only registered Bee participants will be admitted to room 133 at this time. Guests will be directed to a 2nd floor classroom where introductory remarks will be made. It is extremely important that guests NOT remain in the immediate area/entrance way to the auditorium. Sounds travel very well in these halls.
