Maps, Directions, & Parking... Oh My!
Hello Scholars!
WHAT IS THE ELLIOT UNIVERSITY CENTER (EUC)? WHERE CAN I PARK?
I found myself pretty confused my first time on campus. While my mom was wondering where she could park for free, I just wanted to find Chick-fil-A because I was hungry, which is in the EUC!
As you know, sometimes getting lost is the way we learn where things are located. However, having a little information beforehand couldn’t hurt!
So, included in this post is some helpful information that will come in handy.
First, here are directions to different buildings on campus!
Spartan Directions: https://parking.uncg.edu/access/access.html
When asking for directions around campus, you may hear UNCG terms with which you are not familiar. Here are just a few:
The Quad
This refers to a cluster of buildings which are centered around a courtyard, bordered by Gray Drive and West Drive. These residence halls include: Bailey, Coit, Cotten, Gray, Hinshaw, Jamison and Shaw.
The High Rises
Cone, Grogan and Reynolds are clustered together near Market Street and are referred to as the high rises for obvious reasons. Each building contains at least 8 floors and they are nestled together. Walking trails branch out through the trees in every direction from the high rises.
College Ave
When students mention College Avenue, they are referring to an extensive part of campus with a beautiful, wide walkway lined with brick that extends from Spring Garden Street to North Drive. The North and South Spencer, Mary Foust, and Guilford residence halls are located along this scenic strip that is also surrounded by academic buildings.
The EUC
The Elliott University Center (EUC) is a familiar and frequently used home base at UNCG. There are a variety of eateries, including Chick-fil-A, Papa John’s, Subway, Salsarita’s, Barnes and Noble's Starbucks, and more. The bookstore, SpartanCard services, and campus offices and meeting spaces are located here.
Parking
Ugh! This is so true: You may get a ticket if you park in a spot you’re not qualified to park in. You get one warning, use it wisely! You can appeal tickets if you have a legitimate reason. Find out more about parking passes here: https://parking.uncg.edu/
I hope this can serve a great starter in understanding and maneuvering you way through campus!
