Directions to the NEPA Brain Bee

Take Interstate 81 (north or south) to  Exit 185, the Central Scranton Expressway, (northbound Exit 185 is a left-hand exit). If you need directions that start a bit farther away, click here.

Follow the Central Scranton Expressway for approximately 1.5 miles down into the city. As you approach the city you have the opportunity to bear right onto a smaller road--DO NOT do this.

Stay with the main road by bearing to the left, up onto an overpass where you will merge with traffic. Ahead (and overhead) of you will be a railroad overpass. Stay in the right lane.

Just after you go under the railroad overpass there is a light (Jefferson Ave.). Make a very sharp right (see map) onto Madison Ave. immediately before this light. Some off-street parking areas are indicated on the map by red arrows.  Brennan Hall will be visible one block ahead, after the sharp right turn onto Madison Ave.  It is the University's newest building, easily identifiable by its castle-like appearance.

Our friendly folks at campus security have ensured us that you may park in any campus lot, providing you avoid specifically designated spots (e.g., the President's, or Campus Security's). You can also park for free on city streets, the meters are not monitored on Saturday.  Campus lots are indicated in gray on the map below.  The letters "BH" on the map designate Brennan Hall.

The Bee is on the 2nd floor of Brennan Hall at the far left end of the building (assuming you are facing the building).  Registration will be right outside Brennan 228, where the Bee will be held.   

Because of the multiple choice test that will be administered first, only registered Bee participants will be admitted to room 228 at this time.  Guests will be directed to a 1st floor classroom where introductory remarks will be made.  It is extremely important that guests NOT remain in the halls on the 2nd floor.  Sounds travel very well in these halls.  Both the Bee participants taking the test and ongoing classes on the 2nd floor might be disrupted.
