Location

Montclair State University

WordCamp Montclair 2025 will take place in the School of Communications and Media building, Montclair State University. We think you’ll like it as much as we do!

This expansive, two-level, state-of-the-art building has incredible views of the Manhattan skyline. There are plenty of indoor and outdoor areas! Relax, meet sponsors, make business connections and new friends, and catch up with old friends. Or, feel free to find a cozy corner to enjoy a cup of coffee!

How to Get Here

If you’re traveling from New York City, there are four ways to reach Montclair State University – bus, train, car, or car service (Uber, Lyft, taxi). The good news is some buses stop within the campus, in front of the Red Hawk parking lot.

Traveling by train? Disembark at the Bay Street Station in Montclair. Then take Uber or Lyft to Montclair State University. The train does not stop at the MSU station on Saturdays.

On Site Directions

You will be traveling toward Valley Road whether you are parking in the lot or walking from public transportation to the school.

The architecture of many of the buildings next to the main venue is similar, with white exteriors and red terracotta tiled roofs.

Please note: The School of Communications and Media building has a tower to the left of the entrance doors.

Parking and Ride Share Drop-Off

Park your car in the Red Hawk Deck. If you come in via Normal Avenue, this deck is on the right side, after the main entrance road curves. If you will be arriving via UBER/LYFT, request drop off where the road curves.

Current pricing is capped at $12 a day (price varies based upon hours parked).

We suggest parking on level 4 or 5, which provides a no step handicapped accessible pathway to the event venue. Parking on other levels requires navigating the staircase.
