Driving Directions

From March 2016 through May 2017 road construction will affect a key intersection east of campus, River Road and State Street. To avoid this intersection, follow the driving directions on this site rather than using online mapping services.

We’ve created a special Google Map with directions from the three event hotels to the Summit parking lot (197 Marshall Drive, West Lafayette, IN).
