Download a PDF map to the West Campus here. Note that this map is somewhat outdated, but does show the location of CIEMAS, and other points of interest including nearby parking lots and the Washington Duke Inn--located at the opposite end of Science Drive.

There is metered parking near CIEMAS as indicated on the map. In addition, there is visitor parking in the newly opened PG-IV parking lot, located just across from the metered parking next to the Bryan Center (it is indicated as not yet open on the map).
