All guests should plan to utilize visitor parking on north campus. The two recommended lots are NC 27 (1300 Murfin St.) or NC 26 (2500 Hayward St) marked on the map below with the yellow arrows. You can enter these addresses into a map on your phone and they will get you close to the parking lots. Be sure you are parking in a visitor parking space versus permit, as both lots are a mix of visitor and permit only parking. A map of north campus is below for reference.
From NC27: Walk to the east end of the parking lot toward the Lurie Bell Tower and Grove area. Walk directly through the grove, past the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science bldg on your left, down the stairs, walk next to the fountain and enter the back entrance of LEC. Elevators are located off of the main lobby, and the event will take place in the Johnson rooms on the third floor.
From NC26: Walk to the north end of the parking lot and take a left on Hayward Street. At the stop sign, take a left on Beal Ave. LEC will be on your righthand side - there is a large circle drive and orange sculpture in front of the building. The elevators are located off of the main lobby, and the event will take place in the Johnson rooms on the third floor.
