Directions to Electrical and Computer Engineering

By Plane:

Bangor International Airport, 12 miles from the University of Maine, is serviced by several major airlines. Major car rental agencies are represented at the airport. Taxi service is also available. From the airport, take I-95 north.

By Car:

On I-95 take Exit 193 (Stillwater Ave/Old Town). Turn toward Burger King and the shopping center. Follow Stillwater Ave until it crosses the Stillwater River (1/2 mile?). After crossing the river, turn right onto College Ave. (US Rt 2A) at the first stop-light. College Ave. will lead you to the campus. Take the first entrance to campus (Long Rd, near Alfond Arena) to get to Barrows Hall.

Use the campus map to locate Barrows Hall. (UMaine also provides an interactive html map.) Finding a parking space may be difficult after 8:00 AM. You'll need a parking permit when you arrive. They are available for official visitors in the ECE office (Room 101).

Hotel and Motel Reservations

I usually recommend the Best Western Black Bear Inn (located in Orono, off exit 51) for campus visits: 207/866-7120. It's close to campus, relatively new, and avoids the noise at the airport. Other accommodations are available in the Bangor area.
