It is across Malcolm X Blvd from the Reggie Lewis Track and Field Center. The Southwest Corridor Bike Path runs alongside Columbus Ave and directly in front of the T station - from there you'll cross Columbus and find campus bike racks. For car parking, going southwest (with RCC on your left and the T station on your right, Tremont and Malcolm X Blvd behind you) once you pass the final large brick building of RCC, turn left onto Cedar Street, and and immediate right into a large parking lot.</font></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
