Parking

Due to limited parking on campus, NO VISITOR PARKING will be available on the campus with the exception of disabled parking spaces.

Parking and shuttles will be provided at Springfield Mall (see directions below.)  We ask you to allow at least 20 minutes to take the shuttle to the conference site. Also consider morning commuter traffic in gauging your travel time to Swarthmore. We encourage carpooling or taking the R3 Regional SEPTA line which has a stop at Swarthmore College.

Parking is in the area under the “Welcome to Springfield Mall” metal archway. (7’ clearance). Park outside of it if in a van or large vehicle.

The shuttles are small white buses and large yellow school buses.   Volunteer parking attendants will be there to assist you in the morning only. There will be shuttles to and from the conference at peak times. At least one bus will be available all day to and from the mall. THE LAST SHUTTLE WILL DEPART FROM THE ROSE GARDEN AT 5:15.

If you have special parking needs, please call the Scott Arboretum at (610) 328-8025.

The conference planning committee is grateful to the Springfield Mall for supporting our conference.
