Brandeis University is located at 415 South Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, just nine miles west of Boston on a 235-acre suburban campus. The Heller School is located adjacent to the Tower parking lot at the highest point of campus along the peripheral road. The Security Gatehouse at the Brandeis University main entrance can provide you with a parking pass and directions.

Parking

  • Please stop at the Welcome Booth at the front of the Brandeis campus, South Street entrance.
  • Request a guest Parking Pass for the Heller School. A campus parking and safety officer will issue a Blue Zone pass to hang from your rearview mirror.
  • Follow the campus Loop Road signs to the Heller School (Upper Campus).
  • Look for Blue parking.
    • Note: You will not be able to park in the gated lot, so we recommend that you park in the earliest available space in a Blue Zone area or on the Loop Road.
    • The Heller School is on the left side of the Loop Road, after the Bus Stop shelter.
