North Campus, the home of Michigan Engineering, is a hub of creativity — where engineering, art, music and design students co-exist. Join us on a walking tour for an up-close look at North Campus and the Engineering facilities. We can’t wait to meet you!
Due to strict tour capacities, registration is required and walk-ins cannot be accommodated. In the event of cancellations or if additional dates become available, the registration page will be updated to accurately reflect tour availability.
Parking and Transportation Tips
By Car
Visitor parking on North Campus is limited. Payment booths accept both cash and card. We recommend you park in the metered visitor parking spaces across the street from the Ford Robotics Building - lot NC26. The full address of this lot is:
2500 Hayward Street
Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Please review alternative parking options, as this lot may become full.
All visitor parking spaces will be marked with numbered yellow signs. Please make sure that you do not park in the "Blue Permit" or "Business" parking spaces, which are reserved for staff and require a permit. Parking in a permit-only spot will result in a parking ticket of $75. An example of the visitor parking sign is included below.

By University Bus (Free)
University of Michigan buses are the easiest way to get around campus! There is no cost - Simply hop on and ride.
Many visitors prefer to park in a parking structure on Central Campus and hop on a blue Michigan bus to ride up to North Campus. It's only about two miles, and the bus ride can take up to 20 minutes during peak traffic times.
Commuter North and Northwood are the preferred buses from Central Campus, as they have a stop just before the Ford Robotics Building.
You can also track Michigan buses in real time using Magic Bus.
