Emerson Center is located at E509 Emerson Hall. The street address is 1521 Dickey Dr. (used to be Pierce Dr.), Atlanta, GA 30322. It is identified as Building #2041 on the Emory Campus Map.

Dobb University Center (DUC) is marked #1010 on the map. It is adjacent to Cox Hall to the north and PE center to the west. Car traffic is blocked on Ashbury Circle, thus we encourage visitors to park on the surface parking lot (Peavine Lot) on Dickey Dr. (just west of the athletic fields, #1402). Visitor's parking is also available at Emory Hospital at Clifton/Lowergate, see building #3250 on the map. The entrance to Harland Cinema Hall is most convenient from the East side of the DUC building, off Means St, where a registration desk will be set up. Entering DUC from the West side (at Asbury Cir.) will require some navigating through the halls and going up one level to the auditorium. Signs with directions will be posted to help visitors orient in the DUC.
