The campus will be extremely busy, and parking will be tight. Please allow for extra travel time to allow for parking/walking to gym. Extra parking will be available at the Koeppel Community Center (Ice Hockey Rink) which is across the street from the Trinity Campus and about a 5 min walk to the gym. The address is:175 New Britain Avenue Hartford, CT.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
