Parking: Lot parking available for $9. Inform the kiosk attendant that you are attending the Step Up event at Korn Hall at UCLA Anderson. You will be directed to park in Parking Structure 4.
Please note that the entrance to Structure 4 is only accessible via the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Westwood Plaza. There will be signs from the parking structure directing you to the Step Up event.
Directions to the Anderson School at UCLA:
The Anderson School, a complex of buildings A - F, is located in the north central section of the UCLA Campus. Please give yourself ample time to find the building as the campus can be challenging to navigate for first time visitors. Note the map below.
If you use a web based mapping program for directions to UCLA, you must use the intersection of W Sunset Blvd & Westwood Plaza rather than the UCLA street address. If not, the directions will direct you to the south side of the campus and may result in a twenty minute uphill walk.
Northbound: Take Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) north, and exit at Sunset Boulevard. Turn east (right) onto Sunset at the end of the off-ramp. Turn south (right) onto Westwood Plaza, and proceed underground to the parking kiosk.
Southbound: Take Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) south, and exit at Sunset Boulevard. Turn left at the end of the off-ramp and turn east (left) onto Sunset. Turn south (right) onto Westwood Plaza, and proceed underground to the parking kiosk.
