The Leadership Series will take place at the Driscoll Center North, which is located on the University of Denver Campus. The Driscoll University Center includes two wings (North and South) joined by a bridge over East Evans Avenue. We will be in the North wing. The Driscoll Center is easy to reach by public or private transportation. The full address is: University of Denver 2055 East Evans Avenue Denver, CO 80208
The July 8, 2010 Seminar will take place in Suite 1880 of the Driscoll Center. This is located on the 2nd floor. Our registration table will be outside of the meeting room.
Parking near the Driscoll Center Visitor parking is available in three lots: Lot 302, Lot 301/E, Lot 316. These three lots are metered lots. Payment for parking in the lots may be made with credit cards, cash, or coins. Cost of parking is $1.00/hr up to 5 hours in Lot 302 and Parking Garage 301/E or $6.00 for the day in Lot 316. These lots are first come first served. This is the first week of school for students so plan ahead and arrive early to find parking as students may also be using these lots. There are approximately 100 visitor parking spaces between the three lots below. All of these lots have handicapped parking spaces available.
Note: Parking Garage T which is located across from Lot 316 is parking permit only so we are not able to utilize this parking garage. Street parking may also be available on neighboring streets. However, most street parking meters have a maximum time limit of 1 hour. Street parking on East Asbury Avenue does not have a time limit but those spaces go quickly in the morning. All street parking is first come first served. Due to very limited visitor parking on the DU campus, we highly recommend you take the Light Rail system or give yourself a minimum of 30 - 45 minutes to find parking and check-in at the registration desk prior to your session. The entrance to Driscoll Center North is on the North side of the building. The Registration desk will be outside of the Ballroom on Level 1. Public Transportation The Driscoll Center is Light Rail accessible. Light Rail runs parallel to I-25 and the University of Denver station is across the street from the north side of campus (Routes at DU Station E, F & H).
