Location
The Gallery is located in the AQ (Academic Quadrangle), the square building at the very centre of campus.
The Gallery is on the 3000 level, on the south side of the AQ, room AQ3004.
Look for the cloth banners hanging from the ceiling, with the words "gallery."

Parking
The closest visitor parking is accessed as follows: come to the centre of campus by taking a left at the only traffic light on the mountain if coming from Hastings, or go straight through the light if coming up Gaglardi Way. At the point where the road goes under the buildings, stay right; when under the building, turn right up a ramp, ignoring the sign saying visitor parking is to the left. Park, pay, (or place our exhibition card on your dash if here for an opening), walk up one level to the Mall; go east to the Academic quadrangle, go up one more level and walk to the south side where you will see the Gallery banners.
