Location
The SoLES building, as it is known, is on the west end of campus. If you enter the west entrance it’s the first large building, at the top of the hill, on your left. (Across from the Peace & Justice Institute).
As you enter the campus you will need to pick up a FREE guest parking permit. Just let them know you’re attending an event. Underground parking can be found by turning left at the stop sign and circling around the backside of the building.
*** Important: only park in the unreserved spots around the perimeter of the underground parking lot. If this lot is full you may park around the perimeter spaces under the Peace & Justice building (across the way) or in the outdoor lots below (as you head back down the hill).
