From the North or West:
Take I-270 around Columbus, OH, to the Southeast side. Take US-33 E approximately 68 miles from I-270, driving through Lancaster, Nelsonville, and The Plains, passing the first OH-682 exit. After US-33 E joins US-50 W in Athens, take the exit for OH-682 N. Go straight at the first traffic light, through Richland Avenue, take the first left and go up the hill at The Ridges. Follow the map at left to the Technology and Enterprise Building.

From the Cleveland or Akron area
If you are driving from the Cleveland or Akron area, take I-77 S toward Marietta. You will pass several off-ramps from I-77 onto OH-821. Just before Marietta, take Exit 6 from I-77; it is marked "Lower Salem & Marietta" and "OH-821 S." At the off-ramp stop sign, turn right, following the sign "to OH-7 South." OH-821 S runs along parallel to I-77 in the direction you were headed.

Go a couple of miles to the "T" intersection at the end of OH-821, where there is a traffic light; turn left onto OH-60 S, and drive another couple of miles into town, straight through several traffic lights.

Turn right at a traffic light immediately following the sign for "Junction OH-7", onto OH-7 S, and drive along the Ohio River to Belpre.

Stay on OH-7 as it joins US-50 W and OH-32 W at Belpre (across the Ohio River from Parkersburg, WV; this happens at the first bridge over the Ohio River south of Marietta). Once you are on US-50 W, in Belpre, you have about 45 minutes still to go.

Stay on US-50 W all the way up the Hocking River valley to the city of Athens. This will require an exit from the OH-7 four-lane less than a mile West of the small sign to turn left for "downtown Coolville."

After US-33 E joins US-50 W in Athens, take the exit for OH-682 N. Go straight at the first traffic light, through Richland Avenue, take the first left and go up the hill at The Ridges. Follow the above map to the Technology and Enterprise Building.

From Southwest Ohio,
Take OH-32 E to Athens. If you are driving from the Chillicothe area, take US-50 E to Athens. Just West of Albany, OH, at the Ohio University Airport, OH-32 E and US-50 E join together. Continue East on OH-32 and US-50.

Pass the exit for US-33 E to Pomeroy, OH .

Take the exit for OH-682 N. Go straight at the first traffic light, through Richland Avenue, take the first left and go up the hill at The Ridges. Follow the above map to the Technology and Enterprise Building.
