There will be French flags to direct your way to the building.
Parking
There will be a race between 7:50am and 9am so some of the roads will be closed at different times during that hour.
We are asked to only enter the campus from 1604 ! Come in 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 the campus from N LOOP 1604 W, exit John Peace Blvd!
cars and vans: at the roundabout take the 4th exit Bauerle Road. At the stop, turn right :
3 choices

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