RECOMMENDED PARKING:

Weekend
Saturday and Sunday parking is available on South Campus immediately outside of the Hofstra University Museum's Emily Lowe Gallery.

Weekday
Weekdays, when classes are in session, parking on the south side of campus may be difficult. Hofstra University operates courtesy buses that make a loop of the campus every 30 minutes.

EMILY LOWE GALLERY:
We suggest parking by Hofstra USA on the North Campus and taking the shuttle bus, called the Road Runner, to the Weed Hall stop. You then may walk a short distance east to Emily Lowe Gallery.

DAVID FILDERMAN GALLERY and ROCHELLE AND IRWIN A. LOWENFELD EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE HALL:
You may also park on the north side of campus, and walk over the Unispan (the walkway bridge over Hempstead Turnpike) to the south side of campus. Both the David Filderman Gallery and the Rochelle and Irwin A. Lowenfeld Exhibition and Conference Hall are located in the Joan & Donald E. Axinn Library (ninth and 10th floors) immediately to your right as you come over the walkway bridge.

The Emily Lowe Gallery requires a short walk on the south campus to the right of the library, and is located behind Emily Lowe Hall.
