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.
