Visitors to CSE (which is housed in the Bob and Betty Beyster Building) will find most convenient parking in lot NC27 (closest to CSE). Addition visitor parking can be found in lots NC26 and NC43, and in other lots as shown on this North Campus Parking Map. North Campus visitor parking is marked in red on the map. Visitors park in numbered spaces and pay at pay booths in the lot.

Getting around Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor is a highly walkable and bikeable city. Ann Arbor city buses provide good coverage and are often a good option for getting around town. However, it can be best to take a U-M bus when traveling between North and Central campuses. U-M buses run frequently and can be ridden at no cost.
