Arriving by Car:
Enter UVic from McGill Rd, Finnerty Rd, or University Dr. The McGill Rd entrance is recommended since it’s the closest to the David Turpin Buildings. If you enter from Finnerty Rd or University Dr, you must turn right on Ring Rd to loop around campus. Park in Parking Lot 4 or Parking Lot 8 next to Centennial Stadium, highlighted in yellow on the map. Remember to pay for parking!
Arriving by Bus:
Get off the bus at the UVic bus loop/ exchange bay, highlighted in pink on the map. Turn right on Ring Rd to head to the David Turpin Buildings.
David Turpin Buildings:
The David Turpin Buildings (grey & lots of windows) are beside Ring Rd. Don’t get it confused with the David Strong Building (red brick). David Turpin has two buildings, an A wing and a B wing. Enter one of the A wing building entrances highlighted in orange on the map. Room A110 is on the first floor, so take the stairs or elevator to head down one floor. There will be signs directing you to the correct room.
