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.
