Directions to Campus and to the Academies

The Reading First Academies will be on the first and third floors of McGlothlin-Street Hall on the Emory & Henry campus.

From Interstate 81, take Virginia Exit 26 and follow the signs to Emory & Henry, about a mile, on the right. Drive through the gate. You will be on Garnand Avenue. There is a street sign, and we will have a sign for the Academies. As you drive up the hill, McGlothlin-Street Hall is the large building on the right with the tall white columns. Parking is behind the building, so continue on around the end of the building into the parking area.

There are two entrances to McGlothlin-Street Hall on the side near the parking area, one of which (follow the curb cut from the handicap parking spaces)is an accessible (automatic) door that will open when you push the control near the door. The automatic door comes in on the second floor. When you enter, turn immediately to your right and you will find the elevator on your right. Take the elevator down to the first floor and go left after exiting the elevator for the opening session in room 102.

If you have a question or comment, please get in touch!
