Parking
Parking for the event is available in BYU's two visitor parking lots marked on the map below. The Engineering Building is a 5-10 minute walk to the south. Handicapped parking is available in closer lots directly to the south and east of the Engineering Building. Parking can generally be found on Provo city streets a few blocks south of campus unless otherwise indicated by signs. It is also convenient to park at the UTA Orem Central Station or Provo Central Station and ride the free UVX shuttle for 15-20 minutes to the BYU South Campus stop directly adjacent to the Engineering Building. From the smaller southeast entrance to the building, take stairs two floors up and walk north and east to the Event Space, or walk up the hill south of the building and enter the main west entrance to the Event Space directly inside the building to the left.
