How do you find your way around campus?
The official campus map is the best starting point for locating buildings and landmarks on Wright State’s main Dayton campus. Check it before you arrive, then use its labels to plan a route between your destination and nearby campus landmarks.
The map also marks Greater Dayton RTA bus stops on campus. Its revision date is old, so treat the map as a guide to campus layout rather than a guarantee that every detail remains current; confirm specific directions with the university when needed.
What campus tours can you take?
Wright State offers distinct tour formats, so choose one based on whether you are visiting through the Graduate School or as a prospective undergraduate student.
Graduate School campus tours
The Graduate School offers campus tours every weekday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. These tours cover the campus and on-campus housing. If you are planning to join one, confirm the arrangements with the university before traveling.
Undergraduate Campus Visit
The undergraduate Campus Visit lasts two hours and includes an admissions presentation plus a 90-minute campus tour. The tour features the heart of campus and residence halls. Prospective visitors are directed to schedule a visit; the Graduate School’s weekday tour times should not be assumed to apply to this program.
How do you get to campus from the hotel area?
Wright State University is about an 8-minute drive from a hotel for a Wright State University visit.
For a campus visit by car, Lot 2 is adjacent to the Student Union and visitors may park there without first obtaining a visitor permit.
If you want to park elsewhere, you can get a free daily permit at the booth in Lot 2. If the booth is unattended, collect the permit at the Public Safety Service Center in 060 Allyn Hall.
For airport connections, how to get from Dayton International Airport to the hotel area covers the trip.
Display a visitor permit prominently on the vehicle’s rear-view mirror before parking. A permit allows parking in spaces that are not otherwise marked restricted or reserved, including designated visitor parking and Rowdy Parking. It does not allow parking in Nutter Center lots during Nutter Center events.
If you are planning a broader trip around town, how to fit Dayton into one day offers a separate itinerary.
Parking requirements and arrangements can vary, particularly for larger events. Check the official site before you go, and confirm event parking with the university if you are attending or organizing a large gathering.
