Directions to Columbia
Check out the Visitors Center website for information on tours, accommodations, campus highlights, and driving and transit directions, including airport connections. Street parking is extremely limited and garages can be expensive, so we recommend using public transit whenever possible. Additionally, our campus maps identify building locations and disability access. You can also explore campus online through the virtual campus tour.
