Parking/Shuttle Service for SHAFR Conference
Shuttle
Please click here
for information about the shuttle.
General Parking Information
Parking at the Archives II facility will be available ONLY on Saturday,
June 25. If you will be driving to the conference on Thursday or Friday,
you will need to park in our designated lot at the University of Maryland
and take the SHAFR shuttle to Archives II.
If you have not already reserved a parking permit, you will need
to use the pay garage at UMUC. Follow the same driving directions,
below, but instead of turning right off of Presidential Drive into
the UMUC surface lot, you’ll need to turn left and follow Presidential
Drive around the complex of buildings and into the garage.
If you have already reserved a permit, follow the instructions below.
You should have received your temporary permit by email. If not, please
contact Sara Wilson at [email protected]
Parking at University of Maryland Designated Lot
On Thursday and Friday, June 23 and 24, parking for
the 2005 SHAFR Conference will be in the UMUC surface lot, with signs
that read “UMUC Lot.” This lot is the nearest surface
lot to the UMUC Inn and Conference Center. The location of the lot
is noted on the map on page 41 of the printed SHAFR program, labeled,
“University of Maryland University College.” For more
detail, you can also use the University of Maryland map at http://www.parking.umd.edu/themap/
(the lot is in the upper right hand corner of that map, right under
the letter “D” in “University of Maryland”
and is labeled “UMUC”.)
IMPORTANT: You will need a UMD parking permit. You may pick
it up at the Conference registration desk when you arrive at the Archives
facility. Before leaving your car, however, you must place on your
dashboard a sign indicating that you are attending the SHAFR conference.
This is your temporary parking permit and is only to be used the first
day you park in the UMUC lot. It is being emailed to you as a separate
document so that you can print it out and bring it with you.
