There are several parking lots near the college, but we recommend parking in the Veterinary Medicine Lot across from the college or the Duck Pond Lot.

Note: We care deeply about all animals at VMCVM. So for the safety of patients at the hospital and open house demonstration animals, we ask that guests do not bring pets to the event.

The VA-MD Regional College of Veterinary Medicine is located at 205 Duck Pond Drive in Blacksburg, VA on the campus of Virginia Tech.
