How to get there:
- By foot or bike — From the main uni campus, you can either go through Ilam Fields and then via Dovedale Ave, or via the streets on the south of campus (Homestead Ln, Athol Tce, etc). Follow the signs to the gymnasium (see map below). We are in the westernmost gym in the building. Bike stands are available outside the gyms.
- By car — From Waimairi Rd, turn onto Dovedale Ave to get to the College of Education.
- By bus — The 21 goes down Dovedale Ave and is the closest bus. Alternatively, the 3, 23, Orbiter and Metrostar all go past the university. See MetroInfo for more details.
Though Villa Maria was used for classes at the start of 2011, classes are now held at the College of Education (see above). We do plan on holding occasional events there, however.
How to get there:
- By foot or bike — From uni, go down Homestead Ln and cut through Athol Tce. Head left on Peer St and Villa Maria is on the right before Yaldhurst Rd. Approx 15 minutes walk from the UCSA.
- By car — From uni you can either get here via Homestead Ln or by going down to Riccarton Rd. The best car park to use is the one off Peer St. Approx 3-4 minutes from uni.
- By bus — The 84 goes close to Villa Maria. The 81, 83, 88 and Orbiter are all also within easy walking distance, and several other buses go to uni. See MetroInfo for more details.
