Saturday, May 6, 2017 Update:
It is now raining, and updates are being provided on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PROMISE_AGEP (you do not need an account to view the information.) Typing “UMBC Commons” into your GPS typically works. The Game Room is on the second floor.
Directions (additional details)
From 95 (North or South)
The UMBC Exit is THE SAME EXIT off of 95 for the BWI Marshall Airport.
Follow the signs for UMBC, Rt. 166, Catonsville.
Once you are on UMBC’s campus (landmarks: Silo on the left, BW Research Park on the right plus construction), stay in the right lane.
* Make a RIGHT onto Hilltop Circle.
* Pass Administration Drive (immediately past the parking garage)
* Make the 2nd LEFT onto Commons Drive.
The Commons Building will be in front of you. It is a multi-leveled glass walled building. Park in any open space or open lot after 3:30. If you park at a meter, you must have coins available to pay the metered fees.
The Commons is surrounded by the Parking Garage, the Physics Building, the Public Policy Building, and the Theatre. You will know that you are in the right place because Commons Drive ends in a loop with these buildings at the edges.
If you come into the Commons Drive entrance you will be on the ground floor.
* The GAME ROOM is on the 2nd floor of the Commons.
