- From the NY Thruway
-
From either the East or West, skip the exits for I-490, even
though they say Rochester. Take the exit for I-390; head
north. Eventually the highway forks; you take the left fork,
continuing on I-390; I-590 goes right. Take the next exit,
which will say NY 15 and 15A. This exit comes up quickly after
the fork. (Do not be fooled by exits/signs
that come before the fork; there is for example an earlier
exit to Route 15A, which first-time visitors routinely
are lured into taking, but that is not the correct one.)
At the top of the exit ramp is NY 15A (East Henrietta
Road). The Hampton Inn is a popular hotel for campus visitors;
you can see it off to your left about a block and a half, at
the corner of East Henrietta and Crittenden Roads. (Note that
on the map there is both a Crittenden Road and a Crittenden
Boulevard; they are distinct!) To reach the UR from the
highway, take the exit ramp across 15A. It curves back across
I-390 to reach 15 (West Henrietta Road). Continue straight
across this, too. Now you’ll be on East River Rd. [To reach
the UR from the Hampton, take Crittenden Rd. to West Henrietta
Road, turn right, and then turn left on East River Rd.] At the
second stoplight on East River Rd. (about half a mile) turn
right on Kendrick Rd. Now you’re on campus.
- From the Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC)
-
The CS department is about 10 minutes from the airport. Follow
signs onto I-390 South. Cross the river and get off at the
exit for NY 15 and East River Road. At the light at the end of
the ramp (which feeds into East River Road), turn right. At
the next stoplight (just one block), turn right on Kendrick
Rd. Now you’re on campus.
- Once on Campus
-
Kendrick goes north across I-390 again, passes some
dormitories, and ends at Lattimore. Veer left onto Lattimore
and follow it two blocks till it ends at Elmwood. Turn left and under a bridge with
“University of Rochester” printed on it. Take your next right
(at the light) onto Wilson Blvd. Beyond the first intersection
on Wilson there’s a visitor information booth planted in the
middle of the street. Stop there for parking directions.
The Computer Science Department occupies the top two floors of
the Computer Studies Building, located near the corner of
Trustee Rd. and Intercampus Dr. It’s brick and glass with a
big square section and a lower curving section. Unfortunately,
the only external sign is some fairly subtle lettering over
the door. The department receptionist is Pat Mitchell, room
734, directly across from the elevators.
