Getting there: North Campus Building is tucked away on Perth Drive, just north of University Drive near the bridge on UWO campus. If you're coming from Richmond Street to the University, you take a right on Perth just after crossing the bridge on University Drive. North Campus Building is not too far up. There is a pay parking lot just a bit further up (entrance on the left side of Perth). Free parking is also available after 4:00 at Elborn College, which is a bit of a hike (20 minute walk?), but any of the University buses will also get you pretty close (get off at Middlesex/Perth Drive and walk about 4 minutes.
