Maps, Directions, and Parking

Some navigation systems may also recognize St. Louis as the city, but this is the official name of the municipality that WashU sits in. Be sure that you are navigating to Shepley Drive from Big Bend Boulevard; there is no entrance at Wydown Blvd. or Wallace Drive even though your GPS may direct you to those streets.
