Local Transportation

It is approximately 1 mile (15-20 minute walk) from the hotel to the above campus buildings. If walking, please cross the interstate at 5th Street not 10th Street. 

The Tech Trolley runs in a loop from the Midtown MARTA station adjacent to the Regency Suites hotel to campus. For Clough, depart at Marcus Nanotechnology (Ferst and Atlantic) and walk down Atlantic Drive to the Clough Center.  (another map) . The Trolley (it looks like a trolley car!) will run approximately every 10-15 minutes during the day-M-F, but only every 40 minutes at night and weekend!!    Note, do not take the STINGER (yellow bus); that is a different shuttle run that won't take you where you want to go.

You should plan to WALK to Marcus on Sunday Afternoon !!

Nextbus.com will tell you when the next Tech Trolley will arrive at any particular place. Use it from your smartphone.
