Directions and Parking for Cornell Cinema Screenings

Written Directions: Willard Straight Theatre / Uris Auditorium / Schwartz Center for Performing Arts

There are many parking options for Cornell Cinema screenings. For Willard Straight, we suggest the Willard Straight Lot, the Anabel Taylor Lot (some spots are unrestricted after 5pm -- be sure to read the signs or you will be ticketed!), along South Avenue or Stewart Avenue, or the lot off Edgemoor Lane off West Avenue. Please note that some of these options do require walking uphill.
Parking is also available at the Schoelkopf Parking Garage, where there is ample space and it is free after 5pm. It's a less than 10 minute walk to Willard Straight.

For Uris Auditorium, some parking is available along Garden Avenue, but our recommendation is to park at the Schoelkopf Parking Garage, where there is ample space and it is free after 5pm. It is a short walk to Uris Auditorium.

For the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, there is street parking in Collegetown, but we suggest the Parking Garage on Dryden Road.

Whatever option you choose, please pay close attention to all parking signs in case of any rule changes!
