To Park and Find Your Destination on the Westbrook College Campus:

Beginning March 19, 2008
Because of construction of the new College of Pharmacy building, the traffic pattern on the Westbrook College Campus has been altered. The only entrance for UNE community members, visitors, etc. will be via the College Street entrance off Stevens Avenue. College Street will remain a 2-way street.

Access to the Finley Recreation Center Lot, Dental Hygiene Clinic, etc. will be via the small roadway off the visitors' circle in front of Hersey and Goddard Halls. This roadway will be one-way (in) to these locations.

Dental Hygiene Clinic Patients
Patient Parking for the Dental Program will be in the Finley lot, the spaces closest to the Finley Center, and they will be marked accordingly.


Other campus visitors
Except for Dental Hygiene Clinic patients, visitors will need to stop at the Security/Business Services Building at 1 College St. (the white clapboard building at the corner of the North Entrance to campus) to obtain a free visitor parking permit. The parking permit allows visitors to park in "General Parking" (G) lots. (If you are attending a conference, the conference coordinator may have mailed you a parking permit in advance with your registration confirmation or it may be waiting for you at the conference registration site.)
