Technicon 28 Parking and Travel Information |
The majority of Technicon 28's programming will be in McBryde Hall on the Virginia Tech campus. Note: These are only recommendations based on the general state of parking on campus. Attendees must observe any posted signs. Call Virginia Tech Parking Services (540-231-3200) between the hours of 0800 - 1700, Monday - Friday, if you have questions about parking on-campus. In general, attendees with ordinary vehicles may park in any unmetered space marked "F/S" or "C/G" after 5pm on Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday, with no permit required. If you are planning on parking on campus before 5pm on Friday, you will need to plan on picking up a free Visitor's Permit from VT Parking Services. An important exception is the drillfield, which is restricted to permit holders until after 8pm Friday. All posted restrictions must still be observed, such as 24-hour loading zones, motorcycle only spaces, etc. RVs have special restrictions; we suggest contacting both VT Parking Services and the con in advance. Useful links: Virgnia Tech parking map (large PDF): The light green and dark green areas are generally the available lots, plus the garage in brick red. The dark green Eastern Perry St. lot and Lower Stanger lot are probably closest, but likely to fill up; the next best choices are probably the Eastern Prices Fork lot and then the Perry St. garage.
