Getting Here
An event in Mershon Auditorium coincides with this School of Music event. To avoid the higher-priced event parking fees in Arps Garage and Ohio Union North Garage, we recommend Ohio Union South.
Ohio Union South Garage (open to visitors 24/7) — located just south of the Timashev Music building, next to the Ohio Union.
- A good choice for events in Weigel Auditorium, just inside the south end of the building, across from the Oval.
- The only choice for visitors M–F, before 4 p.m.
Weigel Auditorium is on the second floor, via a staircase in the south lobby.
- The elevator to Weigel Auditorium is in the back hallway, located behind the Music Commons.
