Jacksonville University: Campus Map, Visits and Nearby Stays

Jacksonville University’s main campus is at 2800 University Blvd N, Jacksonville, FL 32211, on the St. Johns River across from downtown. The university describes the campus as having half a mile of riverfront, and says it is about 10 minutes from downtown Jacksonville.

If you’re planning time in the city as well as a campus visit, the university’s downtown location across the river makes the two easy to consider together; a one-day Jacksonville downtown itinerary offers a separate plan for that part of town.

The university’s interactive campus map shows building locations and directions, athletics facilities, parking zones and accessible parking. The official Maps & Directions page also links to Google Maps directions and a virtual tour.

Use the map to locate your destination and parking area before setting out across campus. Designated accessible-parking spaces are available in all major campus lots; using them requires a valid state-issued placard or license plate.

Register through the university’s tour calendar for the undergraduate campus tour, which is led by student ambassadors. Select a green date in the calendar to register.

The visit lasts 1.5–2 hours. It includes an admissions presentation, an optional conversation with a counselor, and visits to four facilities: the dining hall, Riverhouse, a freshman residence hall and a classroom. The tour combines a walk through the inner campus with a golf-cart ride to farther campus amenities.

If you’re visiting during a holiday or after hours, the university provides a self-guided walking-tour map. For an additional tour of Craig Airport, the university recommends choosing a 10 a.m. campus tour. The airport tour does not require registration; arrange it with the airport at (904) 641-5774.

The drive from WoodSpring Suites to Jacksonville University takes about 8 minutes; you can review the WoodSpring Suites room options as you plan your stay. The university’s main campus is at 2800 University Blvd N, and its Maps & Directions page links to Google Maps directions for the trip.

Visitors arriving by car need a free one-day parking permit from Jacksonville University’s Department of Campus Safety and Security. You can request one in advance with the Visitor Parking Registration Form; the university emails the permit for printing and display on your vehicle dashboard. The permit is valid only for its approved date.

If you’re attending a scheduled Admissions tour, follow the parking directions provided by the Admissions Office. Campus Safety and Security is in the Howard Administration Building at the campus address; its listed phone number is (904) 256-7585.

Check your tour registration and parking arrangements before driving to campus. For parking locations and campus navigation, use the interactive map; visitors with scheduled Admissions tours should use the directions supplied by that office.

Jacksonville University’s pages provide maps and directions, but public-transit routes and routine visitor opening hours or a general visitor admission fee are not stated. For airport travel planning, the Jacksonville International Airport transfer guide covers that separate journey. Check the official site before you go.
