UNCG is located just west of downtown and is bordered by W Market St on the north, S Aycock St on the west, S Tate St on the east, and Oakland Ave on the south. Spring Garden St bisects the campus on its southern side and connects to College Ave, a pedestrian thoroughfare that runs through the heart of campus. Easy access to the campus is available from Interstates 85, 40, and 73 and federal routes 29, 70, 220, and 421; detailed driving directions are available.
The University is served by several Greensboro Transit Authority bus routes. We encourage you to take advantage of public transportation in order to reduce your impact on the environment as well as your frustration with traffic and parking. For more information on bus routes and fares, call the GTA on 336-335-6499 or 336-332-6440 or visit the GTA Web site. Note that route maps on the GTA Web site are in PDF and require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
For more information, visit the Office of Undergraduate Admissions' Campus Tour Information page which includes links to campus maps and detailed directions to the campus.
Visitors may park in any University parking deck and pay an hourly rate; the Walker Ave parking deck is closest to the Library. Metered parking is available on some campus streets (blue signs) and in the surface lot between the Stone Building and S Tate St. A limited amount of free parking is available on some city streets (green signs) surrounding the Library, including Stirling St, Kenilworth St, Walker Ave, and S Tate St. The University has jurisdiction to enforce parking regulations on campus and city streets that run through or adjacent to campus and vigilantly issues citations, tows, and/or immobilizes illegally-parked cars. Carefully observe all posted regulations. For more information, visit the Parking Services office, located in the Walker Ave parking deck, or call them on 336-334-5681.
The Library is located between Elliott University Center (south of the Library) and the Dining Hall (north of the Library). Enter the Library from the west through the EUC-Library Connector (faces the Walker Ave parking deck and is accessible to all visitors) or from the east the front portico (faces College Ave).
To access the Library from the Walker Ave parking deck, exit on level three at Stirling St. Turn left on Stirling St and continue to Walker Ave. Turn right at Walker Ave, and walk toward the Library; you'll see the tall, white tower wing of the Library directly in front of you. Where Walker Ave ends in a cul-de-sac, bear right and enter the EUC-Library Connector. Inside the connector, turn left and follow the ramp or steps down to enter the Library at the Access Services (Circulation) Desk.
