Parking

West Parking Deck – Kennesaw State University
From either I-75 or I-575, take the Chastain Road exit, and head West on Chastain Road.

On Chastain, drive to the intersection of Barrett Lakes Blvd (on left) and Frey Road (on right). At this light, caddy-corner on the right, is the Kennesaw State University official sign and behind it the soccer field.

The next traffic light is Kennesaw State University Road – turn right onto Kennesaw State University Road. Take KSU Road straight to the first (and only) Stop sign. Turn left.

Drive approximately 200 yards – the road will begin a sharp curve to the left; in the curve, the entrance to the West Parking Deck is on the right. If the first entrance is not immediately visible, continue down the hill to the Stop sign. Turn right onto Campus Loop Road. A second entrance to the West Parking Deck will be available on the right.

Park in any place in the deck – Saturdays are unrestricted parking and there are no fees to park in the deck.

The West Parking Deck is located next to the Social Sciences Building (building #22 on the KSU map), which will be the main location for Drupal Camp Atlanta activities. The Opening Keynote Session, however, will take place in the Carmichael Student Center (building #5 on the KSU map).
