Visiting the Byrd Center:

Whether you are visiting us for research or attending a program, we welcome you to the Byrd Center. Conveniently located at the heart of Shepherd University's campus and close to historic Shepherdstown's downtown restaurants and shops, the Byrd Center is easily accessible.

​For those visiting us during business hours (9am-5pm), you will need to register your vehicle with Shepherd University Campus Police (304-876-5202) and park in the designated visitor lot on West Campus. A bus regularly runs between east and west campus throughout the day.

If you are visiting us for an evening program, parking on east campus is available in C-lot, accessible from Duke Street (WV 480) across from the Bavarian Inn.
