For your convenience in locating rooms, we've included floor plans at the bottom of this section. If at any point during the conference you find yourself lost, please contact startatshea@bc.edu with your name and phone number so that our team can help you!
Traveling via Personal Car & Parking
If you are traveling by your own car and need parking, Boston College offers two parking garages on campus:
​
-
Commonwealth Avenue Garage (140 Commonwealth Avenue, Chestnut Hill, MA)
-
Beacon Street Garage (1103 House Road, Chestnut Hill)
​
Both parking locations are equally close to our event venues. Our entire conference will take place on Boston College campus, where every location is easily accessible by walking. It's a small yet beautiful campus that's perfect for strolling around in your free time!
​
If you are driving on Saturday, we recommend you park at Chestnut Hill Mall and then Uber to BC campus as no parking will be allowed on campus during Game Day.
​
For parking fee information, please visit BC's Visitors Parking Information site. If you are looking on the map, we will be on the Chestnut Hill Campus.
