Visitor Parking
- from the Clark webpage...."There is limited parking for Visitors available in the Maywood Street Lot. Go to the following link for a parking map - http://www.clarku.edu/intranet/parking/parkingmap.pdf - please keep in mind that visitor parking is extremely limited (really focused on admissions visitors) and that on-street parking will have to suffice for most drivers.
Airport Shuttle
For folks coming to Worcester from the airport - Clark has a deal with Worcester Airport Limo (I think it can easily be extended to visitors. Worcester Airport Limousine has a shared van service from Logan and Providence airports - see the following for details - it is about $50 each way. Information is provided under the College of Worcester Consortium link at Worcester Limo's homepage - http://www.wlimo.com/ or a direct link to the Clark employees/students reservation page....https://wlimo.hudsonltd.net/res?USERIDENTRY=CLARKU&LOGON=GO
