Directions to Resolution Revolution Meeting Tonight

Hello,

For those of you that are able to join us for the first Revolution Resolution meeting, here are some driving directions to get to the North Campus location.

From campus or downtown: Go north on Aycock to Wendover East, then take 29 North to the Bryan Park exit. Go left on Summit and left into the 5900 drive.

From Northwest Greensboro: Take Battleground Ave north to Pisgah Church Rd. Turn right onto Pisgah Church; it will eventually become Lee’s Chapel Road. Stay on Lee’s Chapel until you reach the school zone, get into the left lane and continue on Lee’s Chapel until you reach Scott Rd. Make a right onto Scott, drive until Scott deadends into Summit, then go left onto Summit. 5900 is about 1 mile on your right.

The Administration building is the nearest building to the Visitor Parking area. To reach Conflict Resolution, enter the building, turn left immediately and continue until you see a hallway on your right; the Conflict Resolution offices are along this hallway.
