Walking Directions (From Regents Drive Garage to the University Career Center)

This short video shows you how to get from Regents Drive Garage to the Center.

On the third floor of the south side of the garage, there is a walkway. Cross that walkway and proceed to your right, around the building immediately in front of you to Hornbake Plaza.  Hornbake Library will be on your left, with a bronze statue of Frederick Douglass outside of it (in the Plaza) on the right. 

We are located in the South Wing of Hornbake Library, so avoid the main entrance of the library (which is under the columns) and enter through the set of white double doors indicating “South Wing." There is no access to the South Wing from the main library, so please do not enter the entrance underneath the columns. The elevators are through the door and straight ahead. Please take the elevator to the THIRD floor.

Directions for those with a disability parking placard, please take note of the guidelines outlined on this page

  3. At the Regents Garage stop, exit the bus and begin walking toward Fieldhouse Drive, which should be to your left.
  4. Cross the street at Fieldhouse Drive and walk towards the set of stairs to your right in front of the Plant Sciences Building.
  5. Take the stairs (2 sets) to the top where the walkway meets with the Regents Garage pedestrian bridge.
  6. Continue to your left passing Hornbake Plaza (the large courtyard and the statue of Frederick Douglass) on your right. Hornbake Library is the large white building on the left. 
  7. To enter the South Wing, walk past the library’s columns and enter the building atop the small staircase through the double doors with the sign: “Hornbake Library South” above the door. 
  8. Walk straight down the hallway and take the elevator on the left to the 3rd floor which will open into the University Career Center & The President's Promise. 

If using this method to get to campus, enter in the address of the Geology Building (8000 Regents Drive, College Park, MD 20742).   When you arrive, proceed on foot around the Geology building to the left-side (when facing the front of the building). The door to the South Wing of Hornbake Library is straight ahead.  Once inside the building, proceed straight ahead to the elevators and take them to the third floor.
