Getting to Oakham House at the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)
TMU is conveniently accessible via three major TTC subway stations including, Queen, TMU (formerly Dundas), and College, as well as numerous streetcar routes. There is also a number of parking facilities and bike rings around TMU.

Parking
There is no on-site parking for Oakham House at TMU, but being located in the heart of downtown Toronto, there is ample parking surrounding the facility. TMU offers parking to visitors and members of the TMU community at the Bookstore Garage located on the west side of Victoria Street between Dundas and Gould Streets, and at the Pitman Hall Student Residence located on the west side of Mutual Street between Gerrard and Gould Streets.

There is also city parking available on the west side of Church Street between Gould and Dundas Streets. These are all paid parking lots. The rates are posted at the kiosks and they are the average prices for the city.

TMU makes every effort to ensure the inclusion of campus and community members with disabilities in all aspects of their operations. Current accommodations include two elevators, accessible washrooms, and automatic door openers.
