Getting to SHRIVER HALL

Shriver Hall is at the south end of the Johns Hopkins University Homewood Campus, behind the Baltimore Museum of Art. The closest landmark is the Museum, at 10 Art Museum Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218.

PARKING FOR SHRIVER HALL

Parking for Shriver Hall events is in the South Garage, 3101 Wyman Park Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218. The entrance is opposite and just north of the Wyman Park Building. The garage is beneath the Decker Quadrangle (formerly Garland Field). Once in the garage, follow the signs to Shriver Hall. The north elevator takes you up to street level within 50 feet of the Hall.

Weekend event parking costs $10, payable by cash or credit card.

Handicapped Parking

Handicapped parking is in the South Garage, at the regular $10 fee. When you take the elevator up to street level, signs will point you to the right to Shriver Hall’s west handicapped entrance.

Patrons may also be dropped off near the east handicapped entrance, which is reached from the driveway behind Shriver Hall. To get to Shriver Hall, do not go to the garage. Instead, enter the University’s South Gate from Wyman Park Drive, just west of the traffic light at Art Museum Drive. Once in the brick driveway, take your first right turn. Shriver is the first building on your left. Continue about 100 feet past the building. A sidewalk cut-out on the left has a path to the east handicapped door.
