Parking & Directions

McMaster Campus Map

Complimentary parking is available in Lots B, C, E, G, H, I, M, N, P and Q, as indicated on the map.

On-campus parking is limited, so we recommend parking in Lots M, N or P, where complimentary shuttle buses will run to central campus from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with drop-off at the Welcome Tent.

From there, our recruitment team will be available to help you get oriented, pick up a Fall Preview agenda, and plan your day.
