Location

George Brown College
St. James Campus - AutoDesk Building
210 King Street
(near the intersection of King St. & Sherbourne St.)

If you arrive before 7:00pm Friday, you can walk right in the Autodesk door. If you arrive after 7:00pm, someone (security, TOJam member) should be there to let you in. We're a little hazy on how this is going to work. If no-one comes to the door, phone me (416.918.8176) or Em (416.902.9203) and we'll send someone to let you in.

We're on the second floor.
Walk up the stairs and you'll see us.
I'm not sure where the elevator is.

Parking

Unfortunately, there is no free parking at George Brown.
Street parking is not feasible (see below).
George Brown provides a GREAT writeup of nearby parking lots here. We are considered the St. James Campus.

I always like Green P Parking. Carpark 125 looks like the best bet. $9.00 7am - 6pm, $4.00 6pm - 7am. I spoke with them directly. Spaces should be available, and you can buy your entire weekend up front (just press MAX multiple times).

Other, Cheaper Possibilities

George & Richmond
outdoor, cheap, believe they support overnight

George & King
underground parking in King George Square

Sherbourne & Adelaide
outdoor, should be cheap

Sherbourne & Front
outdoor, not the nicest area

I would avoid the convenient public parking lot at 170 Frederick Street since they close at 5:00pm, and I was told they didn't let people park overnight. For other parking options, please see George Brown's recommendations.

Street Parking

Just say no.

Generally speaking, you need to pay $1.50 an hour between 8am and 9pm, and can only buy in 2 hour chunks. Running back & forth every 2 hours is irritating, and expensive. After 9pm, metered street parking is free until 8am the next morning.

However, there are bylaws regarding street parking that might get enforced. I believe you can only street park for 3 hours max, and street parking is not permitted between 2am and 6am. Metered Street parking is expensive, unmetered Street parking is risky. You can't win.

Biking

Unfortunately, you can't bring your bike into the Autodesk building. Unless you want your bike stolen, do not lock your bike on the street where everyone can see it. Lock your bike behind the Autodesk building near the garbage bins. Do not block the bins. Hopefully GB students can provide better options on Friday.
