UNC-Greensboro
is an urban campus. Parking on or near campus when classes are in session
is difficult and regulated both by the university and by the city of
Greensboro. For this reason, the conference will supply a shuttle bus
between the Park Lane Hotel and Elliott University Center, the site of the
conference.
Visitors
may try to park in the Walker
Avenue Parking Deck. This deck
is conveniently located directly across Sterling Street from the Elliott
University Center. The parking fee is $1/hour with a maximum of $5 per visit. Nearly
all of the deck is reserved for those paying a semester fee, and therefore the
deck is sometimes full and closed to visitors. Anyone driving to the conference each
day (not staying in a hotel) should check to see if they can get into this deck
(when the deck is full, signs will indicate, and sometimes an employee will be
stationed at each entrance to deflect visitors).
It
may be possible to obtain a day-parking voucher for $3/day (for one visit). Vouchers are not sold to the public, however, the
department may be able to purchase a small number of day-long parking vouchers
for the Walker Avenue Parking Deck.
The vouchers are valid only at the Walker Avenue Parking Deck. Anyone interested in the voucher should
contact one of the organizers.
