Driving Directions

D'Youville is located less than a mile from downtown Buffalo, near the Peace Bridge. 

Most tours and admissions events begin at the Koessler Administration Building (KAB), conveniently located at the heart of campus. Upon entering the building, you’ll immediately find our admissions welcome area, where our University Recruiters are available to greet you, answer any questions, and provide a guided tour of our campus. This is your first stop to learn more about D’Youville University and everything it has to offer.

Outside the Koessler Administration Building, you'll find visitor parking directly in front, with designated spots for those meeting with the admissions office. Please ensure not to park in any spaces marked as reserved in the parking lots. If the parking spots in front of KAB are full, additional parking is available in Lots A or C, located behind the building.
