ATTENDEE INFORMATION

Directions to the Science Fair

Please refer to the directions here for locating the GMU campus. The fair will be held in Dewberry Hall in the Johnson Center. As the circus will be performing on campus during the science fair, we anticipate heavy traffic entering the campus from Braddock Road. Please use the maps (links above) to locate the entrances from University Drive or Roberts Road and avoid the circus traffic altogether. We have reserved Sandy Creek Parking Deck for Science Fair participants and will have signs posted for the deck on Patriot Circle. Students must check in at the registration station outside the Sandy Creek Parking Deck before proceeding to the Johnson Center to set up their projects.
