Driving Directions and Parking

Please allow for some extra time: you have to walk ½ mile from the parking garage to Chauvenet Hall, and the guards need to check your ID at the gate.

• You can not drive onto campus.
• You have to park in downtown Annapolis: Calvert St Garage (a.k.a. Bladen St Garage) has free parking on Saturday.
  The address is 19 St. Johns St, but most electronic maps can't locate this house number correctly. You have to make a left turn from Calvert Stret onto St Johns Street. Using 39 St. Johns St, Annapolis seems to work better for electronic navigation.
  Other parking options in Annapolis with prices
• Then walk to the Naval Academy.
  Enter at Gate 3 which you can reach via Maryland Ave, see Campus map
  You need to show a picture ID in order to enter.
