W77°18.235'
Notice, however, that significant construction work has been done in the past years,
and continues to be done around the Fairfax campus, resulting in permanent or temporary road closures.
This has especially impacted the access to the Fairfax campus from the City of Fairfax.
As a result, it is very likely that GPS maps are no longer accurate when planning routes from the north.
Therefore we recommend to follow the driving directions provided below.
