A special thanks to our employee, Josh Bland, for creating this fun video tour.
Coming from the South(Lynchburg, Danville, US 29 South, etc.)

  • Take US 29 North until you pass under I-64. Once you have traveled under I-64 look for your second exit (on right) which should read “Ivy or 250”.
  • Take a right as you come off the ramp. You are now on 250 Business/ Ivy Road heading due east. Go through five lights and you will now have passed through the intersection of Rugby and University Avenue (you are still on 250 Business/Ivy Road but it now changes its name to Main Street or University Avenue). After passing through the 5th light you will see the Rotunda on your right.
  • Take the third street on your left after you pass the Rotunda. It is called Elliewood Avenue (Starbucks and Mincers UVa sportswear are on the corner of Elliewood and University). Proceed down Elliewood.
  • Take your first right (immediately past our building on the right).
  • Park in our free lot behind the building and come in the back door.
Coming from the North (Greene, Madison, Culpeper, US 29 North, etc.)

  • Take 29 South (Emmet Street) through Rio Road, through Hydraulic Road, and under the 250 Bypass (Best Buy will be on your right).
  • Once you have passed Anthropologie (on your right), take an immediate left at the light at the corner of 29/Emmet Street and Barracks/Preston Road. Take the left and follow it all the way up the hill.
  • At the top of the hill you will go through three quick lights. Turn right at the third light (Rugby Road).
  • Follow Rugby Road for 9/10 of a mile until you reach the University Avenue intersection. Turn left onto University Avenue.
  • Elliewood Avenue will then be the third street on your left (between Starbuck’s and Mincer’s). Once on Elliewood, take your first right and park in the free lot behind our building.
Coming from the East (Louisa, Fluvanna, I-64 East, Richmond, etc.)

  • Take I-64 West to the last (4th) Charlottesville exit (Route US 29 North Charlottesville/ Washington/ Culpeper), exit 118-B.  Come off 64 and take US 29 North for two exits to the “Ivy/250 business” exit.
