Directions: From I-285 Take Exit 31A (between I-85 and GA400) to merge onto GA-141 S/Peachtree Blvd toward Peachtree Ind Blvd/Chamblee. Turn slightly onto Motors Industrial Way (signs for State Route 13). From Motors Industrial Way, look for “Assembly” written in large script on 5 story parking garage. Turn into drive immediately next to the 5 story Nissan car dealership display. That will lead you into the parking garage. If dropping off disabled or handicapped participant, drive to Commons Drive to enter the park area first before being directed to parking garage.
