Driving directions
Lexington is located at the intersection of Interstates 81 and 64. W&L is less than two miles from the interstate.
- If you are traveling from the north, south, or east, follow I-81 to exit 191 (which puts you onto I-64). Next, take exit 55 off I-64. Turn left onto Route 11 south at the stop sign.
- If you are traveling from the west, take I-64 to exit 55. Turn right on Route 11 south at the stop sign.
- Once you are on Route 11 south, you will drive through three stoplights. After the third stoplight, you will cross the Maury River, and bear right onto Route 11 Business. You will pass Virginia Military Institute. After you pass VMI, you will see W&L on your right.
Parking
We ask that all visitors park in the garage at the intersection of Nelson and Washington streets. Take Washington Street past the dorms. It will curve around, and the entrance to the top level of the garage is on the right.
