So how does one get to the shindig?

Directions are simple, get yourself heading toward Columbia Missouri which ever way it is most convenient for you.  Click here for the location of Columbia MO.  We are conveniently located between Kansas City and St. Louis along I-70.  THEN, follow the map from which ever way you are coming to the Donald W. Reynolds Alumni Center; marked on the map with a bold letter A.  Three items about getting around the campus which need to be mentioned and are not detailed on the map:

  • Between the intersections of Ninth St./University Avenue and Missouri Avenue/Conley Avenue, that roadway is closed off during the day to pedestrian access ONLY.
  • Between the intersections of Hitt St./University Avenue and Hitt St./Rollins St., that roadway is closed off during the day to pedestrian access ONLY.
  • A new parking garage is being built (not sure if it will be done by 10/28 but it might be) that is located southeast of the Maryland Avenue parking garage near the intersection of Monk Drive and Hospital Drive.  Monk Drive intersects Stadium Blvd about 1/4 mile west of where College Avenue intersects Stadium Blvd.  FYI - It's just in case the others are full and this new one is open.
