CLICK HERE TO VIEW A MAP OF THE CAMPUS

La Journée de la Francophonie will take place in the MH building (McKinney Humanities) this year.

Click on the "MAP OF THE CAMPUS" above and you will see the campus. To make it larger, click on the three black dots on the top right of your screen and go to Zoom +

There will be French flags to direct your way to the building.

Parking

There will be a race between 7:50am and 11am so most of the roads will be closed during that time. 

We MUST only enter the campus from 1604 and  through John Peace and go on to Bauerle Road. The parking lots available to you are explained below. 

The large buses: Only one way at any time, see below.

DO NOT adventure yourself anywhere else you will be stopped. They are very worried about us being on campus roads.

I promised that we would be respectful and follow the information given.

Everyone ! 

Enter in GPS : 1, UTSA circle but make sure it takes you to 1604.

Enter the campus from N LOOP 1604 W, enter campus on John Peace Blvd!

cars and vans: at the roundabout take the 4th exit Bauerle Road. Follow the road to the stop.

Go straight: you have a small parking lot to the left

 Turn right : 3 choices 

• on your right Bauerle parking lot 3.

• on your left Bauerle garage ($2.50/hour)

• go straight to the Devine Ave. lot ( do not parked in any reserved parking spots)

 Then walk to the MH following the flags and the panels. Students with the Journée de la Francophonie t-shirts will be around.

Mini buses:

Teachers, at the round about take the 3rd exit for the buses and you can park the mini buses where the UTSA shuttles usually drop off students (at the bottom of the cul de sac and after the second curve.)  

Big buses

At the round about take the 3rd exit and drop off the students at the UTSA shuttle bus stop.  The bus will then follow the road and go park at the BK5 parking lot. 2 ways to do so : 

1. As the bus exits the campus on Peace Blvd, turn right onto the 1604 access road, turn right onto Valero Way, then right onto UTSA Boulevard, then right into Brackenridge Ave. and the BK5 parking lot is in front of you.

2.  As the bus exits the campus on John Peace Blvd, go straight under 1604, turn left and stay on the access road, turn left onto Babcock Road, turn left on UTSA Blvd and turn left into Brackenridge Ave , BK5 parking lot is in front of you.
