Parking for Tamarack at VIU - It's Easy!
Please note that all parking at VIU is pay parking. Parking lot H or G via 5D is closest to the Theatre.
Theatre Location: Building 310, Vancouver Island University (see Maps)
DIRECTIONS: PARKING
Proceed west on Fifth Avenue about two thirds of the way up the hill to Entrance 5D of the VIU campus. There will be signs announcing Tamarack and indicating directions.
Turn right into Entrance 5D. A TheatreOne volunteer will be on site at this entrance and can direct you.
Enter into parking lots G or H, which are the closest parking lots to the theatre; the letters are signposted on large blue signs mounted high above the parking rows in each lot -- just remember to look up! You will not need to climb stairs to access the theatre from these two lots.
Note that during our performances all parking is open parking. Please ignore the Employee Only signs posted in these lots. Regular parking fees are in effect, either by meter or through the pay stations.
Note also that there will be a volunteer at the pay station for these two lots who will be able to answer your questions and give directions if needed.
If these two lots are full, then please proceed back to Fifth Street, turn left and enter at the next entrance, 5C, which gives you access to parking lot F. From here there will be a few stairs.
If you have a Handicap sticker, please proceed as outlined below (Bus access and drop-off)
DIRECTIONS: BUS ACCESS AND DROP-OFF
Proceed west on Fifth Avenue to Entrance 5D of the VIU campus, about two thirds of the way up the hill.
Turn right into Entrance 5D. A TheatreOne volunteer will be on site at this entrance and can direct you.
Drive straight ahead to the gate. Someone will be there to provide access.
Drive through the gate to the flat entrance to Building 310, just past the steps down to the doors.
To exit, either
a) turn around and leave by Entrance 5D, turning left to access parking (see below)
b) drive straight through to the exit at the other end. This is also gated, but with an automatic opening on approach.
To park, go to lots G and H on the road side of the gate. Note: handicapped parking is available in both lots. The gate will be closed during the performance but opened again for pick-up once it is over.
For pick up after the show, we expect the performance to last approximately two hours, including intermission. The gate will be opened approximately 15 minutes before the end of the show to allow access, with departure at the other end of the drive.
*If you encounter any problems, contact the TheatreOne volunteer at campus entrance 5D or call 250-740-6100 for assistance.
