Parking & DirectionsParking & Directions to Orientation – Clark Building room C-142 (Wednesday)
From I-25, take the Prospect Street exit (exit #268), head west past Timberline and College Avenue. Go over the railroad tracks to the stop light at Center Avenue. The Lake Street Parking Garage is on your right and metered spots are on the first floor. Once parked, walk north (toward campus) on Center Avenue to Clark Building, which will be on your right just past the large outdoor sculpture. Go to room C-142. Clark has A, B, and C rooms. You will arrive at C wing first since it is furthest south. A wing is at the far (north) end of Clark. The bridge, B rooms, connects C and A. Directions from Parking Garage to Academic Village (students will check into dorm rooms after Orientation): From the Parking Garage, take Center Avenue back to Prospect and turn right. Go west on Prospect about a mile to South Shields Street. Turn right (north) on Shields. Turn right (east) on W. Pitkin Street. Academic Village will be on the left, on Ellis Drive. You may park in any space that is not a handicap or state vehicle only space. We will check-in at The Commons. Parking for Closing – Clark Building room C-248 (Saturday) On Saturdays permits are not required for parking next to Clark Building in Lot #455 so parking will be free. You will be ticketed if you park in a handicap parking without proper handicap hangtag or plate. To reach this parking lot from I-25, take the Prospect Street exit and head west to College Ave. Turn right (north) on College and go to the first light, at Pitkin. Turn left and follow Pitkin past the tracks to Lot 455. Pitkin ends at the large outdoor sculpture just past the entrance to the parking lot.

Things to BringAs you pack for the week, school clothes are a good choice. Be sure to pack shoes that are comfortable for lots of walking. A jacket or clothes you can layer will increase your comfort because the air conditioning can make the classrooms chilly. Not knowing just what the weather will offer for the week, jeans as well as shorts and an umbrella would be appropriate.
A group game (like Twister or Charades) or board game (like Sorry or Clue ) would be fun for free time if you would like to bring one. You will need your camera and a video camera if you have one. No camera? No problem, we will check one out to you. Your laptop computer is optional – we have access to computer labs in Clark building as well as in the dorm. A USB drive (thumb drive) will allow you to transport your files in case you wish to work in the dorm and move files across campus or take your files home. We will save to a server in the Clark Labs. Information from CSU Conference Services about the campus and summer events is included under Other Details. |
