Picture
If you are taking the 80, 95 or the 287:
From 287 North or South - take to exit 39 (Northbound) or 39A (Southbound) to Route 10 Eastbound. Pass the first light (Jefferson Road)  and stay in the right hand lane. The MetroWest Road comes up pretty quick once you pass the light – you will pass a bicycle store.  There is a sign that says “MetroWest Road – Next Right” then 3 houses - just past the third house take a right onto MetroWest Road - it’s right ​BEFORE Nikko Japanese restaurant.

If you are driving Westbound on Route 10:
You will need to drive toward Jefferson Road in Whippany. Stay in the right hand lane and before the light, you will need to take the jughandle and turn left onto N. Jefferson Road. There you will need to get into the left hand lane so you can turn left and travel Eastbound on Route 10. You will then follow the directions above. 
​

Parking
Parking at the Alex Aidekman Campus is free. Anticipate stopping at the security guard booth before entering the campus.
