Visit Confirmation
We ask that you confirm your scheduled planetarium visit within 1 week of the appointment, preferably by sending e-mail to John Mattox (JMattox@uncfsu.edu).
Unloading/Parking
You should unload students from W.T.Brown Drive at the south end of the Lyons Science Building. For a definative specification
of where to park your bus - call our campus police at 672-1775.
My recommendation is that if there is room,
you can park at the south
end of the lot on Mary T. Eldridge Drive.
To get there, go east from Lyons Science on W.T.Brown Drive.
Cross the railroad tracks, and at the stop sign,
turn right on to Eldridge.
Go about 100 yards to the end of the lot and park on the right.
If you are unfamiliar with the FSU campus, we suggest that in addition
to a copy of this form, you
bring a printed copy of the Campus Map linked from the
Planetarium Web Page.
If you are unable to come at your scheduled time or are delayed:

as soon as possible by e-mail or phone (910-672-1785).
