Directions and Lodging

Georgia Tech is the purple area on the regional map. The campus is bounded by I-75/85 on the east, North Avenue on the south, and 10th Street on the north.

BY CAR: If you arrive from the north, you exit I-75/85 at the 10th St./14th St. exit, which is just after the point where I-75 and I-85 come together. Continue off the exit ramp until you reach 10th Street. Turn right on 10th street. Turn left at the third traffic light (State Street). (See north campus map.) Where State Street stops (near "(Ferst Dr)" on the map), turn right on Ferst Drive, and continue until you reach Student Center Parking Deck (#114 on the south campus map). Parking rules are very loosely enforced after 4pm and gates go up on most gated campus lots around that time. Interpret that at your own discretion.

If you arrive from the south, for example from the airport, you should exit I-75/85 at the 10th St. exit. Turn left when you reach 10th street and cross the bridge over the freeway. Then follow the instructions above.

From any other direction, connect to I-75/85 and follow the instructions above.

BY TAXI: Tell the driver to enter the Tech campus from North Avenue by turning onto Cherry Street. After one block there is a stop sign and Cherry St. is closed off beyond the sign. Leave the taxi at the barrier and walk straight ahead. The Skiles Building is the second building on the left after the barrier.

BY MARTA: It is not necessary to use a car or taxi from the airport, and if you arrive at rush hour it will actually be quicker to use rapid transit, locally known as MARTA. There is a MARTA station inside the airport, and the fare is $1.75. (Tokens will not be returned, and no proof of payment will be required at the exit.)

At the Airport MARTA station, go up the stairs and board any train, right or left. Take the train 20 minutes or so to North Avenue Station. When leaving the train, turn left and exit the station to the south (opposite to the direction of the train). Go to the right out of the station and walk west along North Avenue. After crossing over a freeway the campus will be to the right. Near the top of a hill, turn right onto Cherry Street and enter the campus. The Skiles building will be to the left just before Cherry St. bends sharply to the right. Typically the walk between the School of Mathematics and MARTA is ten minutes or less.

The School of Mathematics is located on the first and second floors of Skiles Building, which is building #2 on the south campus map.
