Directions and Parking
The Physics Department and Planetarium are located in Smith Hall (see image at right) and the attached Science Research Building, on East Summit Street, which forms the southern edge of the campus. Parking is available in the R-5 lot just south and east of the physics building. The entrance to the R-5 lot is just in front of a distinctive building with a roof shaped like a sine wave (Math & Computer Science). See the South Campus zone of the campus map for the location of Smith Hall and the R-5 lot; for visitors not familiar with the Kent area, maps and directions are provided below.
Short-term visitors who need to park in the R-5 lot during normal business hours should obtain a single-day parking permit from the Physics Department office.
