Locations and Parking

  • The main location of our meeting is the Auburn Research Park at 540 Duvall Drive. We will be in suite 101 and there will be signage directing you. Parking is free at the Research Park. 
  • If you are staying in town, at The Hotel at Auburn, it is conveniently located across the street from the Ralph Brown Draughon Library but you will want to drive to the Auburn Research Park.
  • For our visit to the Ralph Brown Draughon (RBD) Library, we recommend anyone not staying overnight at the Hotel at Auburn carpool with someone who either is staying at the hotel or who works at RBD Library to make parking easier on you. We will gladly return you to your car later that afternoon or after dinner – whatever your preference! 
  • Visitor parking is available at the Jules Collins Smith Museum at the North and East sides of the building
  • Parking is available at the Auburn University Raptor Center.
