You’ve probably found the information below on our website or on your own. Still, we send this just in case it helps one person.

In contrast to its rural setting, UConn is a busy place, with over 20,000 students, faculty and staff on campus on a normal day. Be aware that traffic on Route 195 can be very heavy, especially coming from I-84 to the north, and plan accordingly.

On Friday morning, please come directly to the Dodd Center to pick up your registration materials. Directions are below.

Remember that the parking garage takes CASH ONLY. No credit or debit cards!

Route 195 to the South Parking Garage

There are two ways to get from Route 195 to the parking garage. Google Maps has mapped the campus, so you can eyeball these on the map.

#1: Mansfield Road
Coming from either the north or the south on Route 195, enter the campus via Mansfield Road. There is a stoplight at this intersection and a left turn lane.
From the north, turn right; Mirror Lake will be on your right.
From the south, turn left; the Fine Arts Center will be on your left.
Mansfield Road curves to the right.
At the stop sign, turn left onto Gilbert Road.
At the stop sign at Hillside Road, cross Hillside and follow the road up the hill.
At the top of the hill, turn right and drive through Lot 8.
The parking garage entrance is in the far corner of Lot 8, to your left. Watch out for crossing traffic from the right.
You are entering the parking garage on Level 5.

#2: Route 275
Coming from the south on Route 195, turn left onto Route 275. There is a stoplight at this intersection and a left turn lane.
Route 275 passes the Mansfield Community Center.
Turn right onto Eastwood Road.
At the stop sign, turn right onto Hillside Circle.
At the stop sign at the T intersection, turn left onto Hillside Road.
At the stop sign at Gilbert Road, turn left and follow the road up the hill.
At the top of the hill, turn right and drive through Lot 8.
The parking garage entrance is in the far corner of Lot 8, to your left. Watch out for crossing traffic from the right.
You are entering the parking garage on Level 5.

Walking from the South Parking Garage to the Dodd Center

• In the parking garage, take the elevator or stairs down to Level 1 and turn right out of the garage. (The huge building slightly to the left in the distance is the library!)
• Cross Hillside Road and continue toward the Graduate Center, which has a large gold banner. On Google Maps, this building is labeled “Office for Sponsored Programs.”
• Walk around the Graduate Center to the right.
• The Dodd Center is past the parking lot to your right. Walk past the wavy wall and turn right to get to the building entrance.
• If you arrive after later, Babbidge Library is the huge building across the plaza from the Dodd Center.

Getting from the South Parking Garage back to Hillside Road

You will have to exit the parking garage on Level 1.
Upon exit, turn right out of the garage.
Turn right at the stop sign onto Stadium Road.
Turn right at the stop sign onto Hillside Road.
Now you can either turn onto Gilbert Road or drive past Gilbert to Hillside Circle to get back to Route 195.
