Parking:
The best parking option will be the Anderson Parking Structure conveniently next to the Chapman's Keck Center. From the entrance of the Anderson Parking Structure, navigate to the elevator on the far side of the parking structure. Take the elevator to the 1st floor, and you'll find yourself in an outdoor atrium. As you’re exiting the elevator, turn left through the glass doors into Swenson Hall. Continue down the hallway past the MakerSpace and the Ideation Zone (rooms N107/109) will be on your left. While street parking is an option, it may require a valid Chapman parking pass depending on the street you're on - Please pay attention to street signage and see everyone tonight!
