Re parking
*Please note that there is limited visitor parking near the Center. We recommend coming early to our events in case nearby visitor parking is full. In that case, you may park in other visitor spaces on the main campus (on the other side of Rte. 116) but expect to have to walk to the Center.
*We do have two handicapped parking spaces available between our buildings. Access is from a driveway off Rte.116. Turn into the driveway between 79 and 83 College Street to reach these spaces.
