Traffic & Parking Info

IMPORTANT! You must display a 4-H Center parking pass (available here at no charge) to avoid being ticketed or towed when parking on campus. If you already have an OSU parking permit, you may use it subject to the normal rules.

Address: The Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center, 2201 Fred Taylor Dr, Columbus, OH 43210 (OSU main campus).

Directions: Easiest access from all directions is via State Route 315. Approaching Columbus on I-70 from east or west or I-71 from the south, go north on 315. Approaching Columbus on I-71 from the north, go west on I-270, then south on 315.

From State Route 315, exit on Lane Avenue, turn east toward Main Campus (follow signs). At the first intersection (just before the Schottenstein Arena), turn left onto Fred Taylor Drive (to the right, the street name is Fyffe Road). The 4-H Center is the first building on the left. A drop off area is available in front, use the entrance just beyond the building. Please do not use the parking lot directly behind the 4-H Center; space there is very limited and reserved for handicap parking and tournament volunteers who need access during the day.

Parking: You must display a parking pass in your front dash to avoid being towed, available free here. You may use the drop off area in front of the center for passengers and gear. You may park in the Bill Davis Stadium lot caddy-corner across from the 4-H Center (not in the Schottenstein Arena parking lot directly opposite), or on Fyffe Road across from the Ag Admin Building, a short walk from the 4-H Center and just south of Lane Avenue. If parking at Ag Admin, after dropping off passengers at the 4-H Center, turn right on Fred Taylor Dr. Go straight across Lane Avenue, where the street name changes to Fyffe Road. Parking is in the first lot on the right. If no spots are available, you may park at the Ag Admin Building on the other side of Fyffe Road.
