Unfortunately the parking situation at Tech has never been easy, and
it's not getting easier anytime soon.  The best available parking is at
the southeast corner of the intersection of State St. and Ferst Ave.
Link below:

  "Visitors to the Klaus Advanced Computing Building should park at the
State St. Visitor’s Lot at the intersection of Ferst Dr. and State St.
on campus. The cost is $1.50 per hour, payable by cash or card in
advance."

It's a little bit of a walk, but walking is good for you (or so they
tell me).  An adventurous attendee could try parking illegally in one of
the other campus parking lots, or somehow finding their way into the
Klaus building deck, but I personally wouldn't recommend doing this
often.  As a side note, I totally disagree with the Georgia Tech "Master
Plan" of a pedestrian-only campus.  I could go on and on, but one way or
another this is what we've got to work with.

If any of this is unclear, please let me know and I'll clarify.

Thanks,

Ryan
