Parking CHANGE for Campus Center Hotel Guests

If you are booked to stay at the Campus Center Hotel, or if you plan to drive to campus to the Dinner on Saturday, see this notice from UMass about closure of the Campus Center Parking Lot and availability of alternate parking facilities, with map. Call the Campus Center at (413) 549-6000, ext. 0, if you have questions.

* At end of ramp, turn left and follow the road to the next intersection
* At intersection, turn right onto Routes 5 & 10 South, and follow for one mile.
* Take left onto Route 116 South and follow 8 miles to the University of Massachusetts exit
* At end of ramp, make left onto Massachusetts Avenue Follow Massachusetts Avenue to first light, and make left onto Commonwealth Avenue. Mullins Center will be on your left; Campus Center to the Right.

FROM POINTS SOUTH

* Take Interstate 91 North into Massachusetts and follow to Exit 19 (Northampton & Amherst / Rte. 9 East)
* At end of ramp / stop sign, make right onto Rte. 9 East
* Take Rte. 9 East over bridge & follow through five set of lights (approx. 5 miles)
* At sixth light, make left onto Rte. 116 North (Staples on right, Holiday Inn Express on left)

Take the turn at the traffic lights (directly in front of Mullins), and drive up the hill (Campus Center Way) towards Parking Garage. There should be detour signs directing you away from the garage to Lot 65. Parking Services indicated that there is also an entry to Lot 65 going a bit further north on Commonwealth Ave: Left at the next traffic light.
Additional parking is available at Lot 25, but that is even further from the hotel.
