FROM THE NORTH
Take Interstate 5 south to Eugene and turn onto the I-105 Westbound exit (exit 194b). From I-105, take the first exit for Eugene Downtown/Coburg Road. This is a split exit, so stay in the left-hand lane for Eugene Downtown and the UO. After you merge, move into the left lane as you go over the Ferry Street Bridge. This lane will become the right lane after the overpass. Continue as the road curves left (this is now Broadway). Turn right at Patterson (just after a 7-11 on the corner) and continue until 18th St. Turn left onto 18th (you are now heading East) and continue uphill past two lights. The music Building is the last on the left side, just before the cemetery, which is at the top of the hill.

An alternate route avoids downtown, particularly helpful during heavy traffic. From I-5: Do not take the I-105 exit. Instead, continue on I-5 over the river to the Glenwood exit (exit 191). Turn right at the stop sign (onto the overpass) and right again immediately after the overpass onto the I-5 northbound ramp. Once you're on the ramp, stay in the right lane. This becomes the Franklin Blvd./UO exit. Follow directions as from the South.

FROM THE SOUTH
Take Interstate 5 north to the Eugene/Franklin Blvd./UO exit (exit 192). This merges with Franklin Blvd. westbound. Get in the left lane of Franklin and continue to the main University entrance at Agate Street. Turn left onto Agate and continue to 18th (just past Hayward Field and the track facilities). Turn right onto 18th and continue uphill past the stoplight. At the top of the hill on the right side is Pioneer Cemetery. The first building on the right after the cemetery is the music building.

FROM THE EAST
Take US Hwy. 26 West to Prineville then OR Hwy. 126 to Sisters and connect with US Hwy. 20, or from the Southeast, go West on US Hwy. 20 through Bend. On the West side of the passes, turn left onto OR Hwy. 126. This highway will head directly in to Springfield. Past 57th St., Hwy. 126 will split off to the right. Turn right and continue on Hwy. 126. At the intersection with I-5, Hwy. 126 becomes I-105. From there, continue as with the From the North directions.

NOTE: To avoid the Ferry Street Bridge during heavy traffic periods, do not turn right on to Hwy. 126 in Springfield. Instead, continue straight on Main (which is Hwy. 126 (business)), and go through Springfield. This will become Franklin Blvd.; once you have passed under I-5, continue as with the From the South directions.

For travelers coming from the Southeast, it may be more convenient to use OR Hwy. 58, which connects with I-5 south of Eugene. From there, continue as with the From the South directions.

During inclement weather and for travelers from the Northeast, take I-84 west to the East-side of Portland. Turn South at I-205 and continue to where I-205 meets I-5 and merge with the Southbound traffic. From there, continue as with the From the North directions.
