There is a parkade north of the SUB called “North Parkade” you can park in. The SUB is the bunker-like building between the Student Recreation Centre (SRC) and the War Memorial Gym. If you come from the ferry or the border after Oak St Bridge: Option A: take either the WEST-BOUND EXIT Marine Drive, or Option B: follow Oak Street all the way to 41st, then turn left to 41st 41st becomes Marine Drive. Marine Drive to 16th Avenue – that is the first and only exit on the right close to the end of the freeway section of Marine Drive. On 16th at the 2nd traffic light, turn left, to Wesbrook; past 2 traffic lights – do not run the red lights, okay? Turn left at GATE 11 - There will be a parking lot directly on your right, but it is a bit far away from the SUB. IF you follow the "bookstore detour" signs to the old bus loop (which is now used for parking), there is parking there right in front of the SUB. Parking rates vary depending on where you park. On evenings and weekends, a flat rate of $4.00 is required upon entry for parkades. Tickets can be obtained at pay machines that accept $2, $1, and $0.25 coins as well as Visa and MasterCard. This should give you an idea of how much UBC charges for parking: http://www.parking.ubc.ca/visitor_rates.html If that lot is full, got to Gate 2 which is immediately north of Gate 1, turn left at the exit of the lot you are in, pass the tall high rises of Gage Towers. The NORTH PARKADE is immediately west of Gage. It's at C-4/5 on the map. The SUB is the bunker-like building NORTHWEST of the parking lot, and south of the NORTH PARKADE. From either the north or south doors of the SUB, go up two flights of stairs, and at the top you will see the ballroom right in front of you (to your right, if you came from the south, to your left if you came from the north). It is fairly easy to find. ---------- CONTACT US: ---------- If you have any questions or inquiries about the tournament, please feel free to contact us at: fencingubc [at] gmail [dot] com
