Parking:

The best option is going to park in the Hoy Parking Garage (167 Hoy Rd). There is an information booth located right outside of it (marked with the "i" in the screenshot below) where they can purchase a day pass ($10) before they park.

The phone number for Commuter and Parking Services: 607-255-4600.

Here is a link to the interactive campus map: https://www.cornell.edu/about/maps/. It is about a 10 min walk from the garage to Mann Library where we will have the day's events.
