Directions to the Cortland Campus

 

From Syracuse and points north on I-81

Take Interstate 81 south to Cortland Exit 11.
Turn right off the exit ramp onto Clinton Avenue Extension.
At the second traffic light take a right on Clinton Avenue/Route 13.
Drive approximately one mile, get into the center lane and make a left-hand turn at the light onto Church Street.
From Church Street make a right-hand turn onto West Court Street.
Take West Court Street to the top of the hill and make a right-hand turn onto Graham Avenue.
Make the first left-hand turn onto Gerhart Drive, which leads you into the major parking lot on the upper campus.

1. For Friday evening, go all the way to the end of the lot. Facing the end of the lot, you should see the Campus Security Office to your left. Follow the pedestrian walkway off to the right. This walkway will soon enter a smaller parking lot between two buildings. The building to your right will be the Fay Corey Student Union. Take the elevator up to the Function Room.
2. On Saturday go only about half way to the end. (This you will know if you have been there Friday night.) Alternatively, your landmark to park near should be the main power plant, recognizable by one large smokestack and three smaller ones. Walk up a stairway keeping a small greenhouse to your left. The Sperry Learning Resources Center will be the large blockhouse-like structure directly ahead of you.
