Before you head over

Practical suggestions on parking, timing, and ordering to make the most of your visit

  • Free Underground and Weekend Parking

    Take advantage of 90 minutes of free underground parking available on campus, or visit during weekends when nearby street parking is accessible.

  • Beat the Peak Rush for Drink Service

    Arrive ahead of peak dining rushes or allow extra buffer time when ordering coffee and drinks during busy periods, as counter and bar queues can lengthen.

  • Explore Dietary and Family-Friendly Options

    If you have dietary restrictions or are ordering for children, ask staff about the dedicated gluten-free crusts, vegetarian pizzas, and flexible meal adjustments.
