Map and Directions
UHM Economics is located on the fifth floor of Saunders Hall on the UH-Manoa campus at 2424 Maile Way. The Department office (Saunders 542) is open from 8 am to 4:15 pm. Faculty and staff often work outside their offices, so you may want to e-mail them for an appointment before traveling to Saunders Hall. Please see our contact page for a list of email addresses and phone numbers for faculty, graduate assistants, and staff.

Driving to Campus and Parking in the Main Parking Structure
For those planning to drive to the campus and park, we provide two sets of directions.

Both sets of directions lead you to the entrance of the parking structure:

- Drive to the second traffic light and take a left onto University Ave.
- Follow University Ave. until you pass under the H1 overpass. At the first light, take a right onto Dole St.
- Follow Dole St. for approximately 150 feet before taking the first right, which will take you to the entrance to the parking structure.
- Via the H1 Freeway
- Take the University Ave. exit. The exit ramp leads onto University Avenue heading towards Manoa Valley and the University of Hawaii-Manoa.

Driving to Campus and Parking After 4 pm and on Weekends
On-campus parking is available for visitors to the Manoa campus after 4 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays. Parking is free on Sunday. All other times it costs $3 to park on campus.
- After exiting the H1 freeway (or passing under the H1 overpass on University Ave.), follow University Ave. to the third traffic light and take a right onto Maile Way.
