Directions and Parking for Cornell Cinema Screenings

Written Directions: Willard Straight Theatre / Schwartz Center for Performing Arts
Google Maps: Willard Straight Theatre / 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 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!

Take College Avenue into the Cornell campus. At the Main Quad, turn left onto Campus Road. The Willard Straight parking lot is your second right.

Take Buffalo Street up the hill to Stewart Avenue (flashing yellow light). Turn left on Stewart. At Campus Road, bear right. Head up Campus Road to the Willard Straight Hall parking lot on your left (just after the Cornell Cinema marquee). Enter Willard Straight Hall through the doors at the end of the Parking Lot. The Theatre is just ahead!

Directions to the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts Film Forum

The Schwartz Center for Performing Arts is located in Collegetown just outside the entrance to the Cornell campus on College Avenue. It is the large architecturally modern white building. Enter SCPA and head down the steps to the main lobby. Turn left, and the ticket window will be against the wall. The Film Forum is one flight down the stairs by the elevator.
