Getting out

  1. Take MARTA. North Avenue station is about three blocks east on North Ave.
  2. Ride the shuttle back. The Purple and Gold routes run back to McCamish, the Student Center and Area 2.
  3. Rideshare from Tech Parkway. The pickup zone is on Tech Parkway off North Ave.

Skip this: Pull out of a deck at the final whistle. You and everyone else on that level.
