Parking
Due to limited parking on campus, No Visitor Parking will be available on the campus with the exception of disabled parking spaces.
Free parking and shuttles will be provided at Springfield Mall (directions below) as no visitor parking is available on the Swarthmore College campus. We ask you to allow at least 20 minutes from the shuttle to the conference site. Please also consider morning commuter traffic in gauging your travel time to Swarthmore. We encourage taking the train which has a stop at Swarthmore College.
For travel by train, take the Media/Elwyn line to the Swarthmore Station and head up the oak allée. Signs will direct you to the conference.
Driving directions*:
From the Blue Route (I-476), take Exit 3 Media/Swarthmore
At the bottom of the exit ramp, head east onto Baltimore Pike toward Swarthmore
Get into the left hand lane (Springfield Mall is just up the hill on the left)
From Baltimore Pike, turn left into Springfield Mall
Follow the green and white signs that will take you to the left side and behind the mall
Parking will be behind the mall in the area under the metal archway across from Macys
Note: The archway has a 7’ clearance, please park outside of it if in a van or large vehicle.
The shuttles are small white buses and large yellow school buses. Volunteer parking attendants will be there to assist you in the morning only. There will be shuttles to and from the campus at peak times. At least one bus will be available all day to and from the mall. The last shuttle departs from the Rose Garden Circle at 5:45 pm.
If you have special parking needs, please call the Scott Arboretum at 610-328-8025.
The conference planning committee gratefully thanks the Springfield Mall for supporting our conference.
