You may also park on the north side of campus, and walk over the Unispan (the walkway bridge over Hempstead Turnpike) to the south side of campus. The David Filderman Gallery is located in the Joan & Donald E. Axinn Library (ninth floor) immediately to your right as you come over the walkway bridge.
