The Ashland University campus has a number of visitor parking options around the
perimeter of the entire
campus. The directions to the Office of Admission lead visitors
to the visitors’ parking lot off King Road, which is Lot A
on the map, but there is additional parking in a number of other
locations. If you continue down King Road and take a left turn on
to Samaritan Avenue, there is a large parking lot, Lot B, on your
right. There are no visitor parking signs in this lot, but the lot
is open to visitor parking. And if you continue down Samaritan Avenue
and take a left on to College Boulevard, parking lot C is on your
left. Look for the visitor parking signs in this lot. If you continue
down College Boulevard and take a left on to College Avenue, you
will pass the Dauch College of Business and Economics Building and
the Gill Center on your right. Take the next alley into the parking
lot – Lot D – which is behind these two buildings. Look
for the visitor parking signs in this lot. There is an additional
lot – Lot E – near Myers Convocation Center on the northwest
side of campus. Continue down College Avenue and take a soft left

next intersection, which is Jefferson Street. The entrance to Lot
