  • Additional parking can be found in the southern guest lot or in the Still Lot (located to the east and southeast of Legacy-Sponberg Theatre).

Here are video tours of how to walk from the Ford Staff Lot to the Legacy-Sponberg Theatre where the workshop check-in is located, and how to get to the offsite Annex classroom.
