Directions

Parking can be problematic. Please try to arrive a half an hour early, to make sure you have time to find a parking place.

Driving Directions:

From Northbound & Southbound Interstate 81
Alternate directions from Southbound Interstate 81 follow below.

• Take Exit 118B onto U.S. 460 West. This is a new exit, south of Exit 118C (the former Exit 118) that connects directly to the Christiansburg Bypass.
• Follow the signs for Blacksburg/Virginia Tech.
• Merge onto North Franklin Street after 3.5 miles.
• Drive 2.7 miles, through eight traffic lights, to the ninth traffic light, at Yellow Sulphur Road.

  Due to construction in this area, there may be lane and ramp changes. Watch signs carefully for routes and directions. As of December, 2001, the route for U.S. 460 has changed.

• Immediately beyond the Yellow Sulphur Road traffic light, Bus U.S. 460, South Main Street, exits to the left. U.S. 460 West, signed for "Virginia Tech, Bluefield" continues to the right on a new route through the construction.
• You can go either through Downtown (recommended) or through campus.

• Follow Main Street for a few miles.
• When you see Gables Shopping Center on your left, you'll soon go straight through a traffic light (Airport Rd. is to the left),
• You'll soon be approaching downtown in a few blocks.
• You'll pass Blacksburg Middle School on your right,
• then you can turn left on Washington St.(Annie Kay's Whole Foods is at the corner, for those interested),
• and turn right on Otey St.
• In a couple blocks, you'll see a parking lot on the right.

• Drive for 2.5 miles on U.S. 460 to the traffic light at VA 314, Southgate Drive.

Parking

Stay on Main Street, instead of turning onto College Avenue, Washington Street, or Roanoke Street. Get in the left lane, and go up the hill and make the first left turn, onto Alumni Mall (formerly Drillfield Dr.). There is a small chance you may see a parking space on this road, but more than likely you'll have to go into the parking lot immediately on the right. The gates should be open the whole weekend.

Squires Student Center is almost a five minute walk, just down Alumni Mall (formerly Drillfield Dr.), and across the street, a large, mostly brick-red building (this is the back of the building, with two entrances on this side. The front of the building faces College Avenue).

If that lot is full - follow the directions as given above to Otey Street and...

Good luck finding a spot in the lot!

• As you turn in, you are allowed to park on the left hand side, marked for Faculty/Staff, since it's a Saturday.
• DO NOT PARK ON THE RIGHT HALF. This is reserved for Donaldson-Brown Guests!
• If a parking spot is not available, pull back out of the lot and continue.
• The road turns right and becomes College Ave.
• You see parking meters, first on the right side, then on both sides, and this in turn brings you downtown, where there are more meters and metered parking lots.
• If you missed the Washington St. turn, then Roanoke St. will also take you to Otey, or pass that and get in the left lane and turn left at the light at the bottom of the hill onto College Ave.
