There is ample well-lit parking near Whitley Hall (the old Whitley Hotel at 231 Montgomery Street) on the Troy University Montgomery campus. The Montgomery Symphony, with programs starting two hours later, has used the Davis Theater, next door to Whitley Hall, for years without incident. All evening programs will be in the Gold Room on the second floor of Whitley Hall. Signs will be posted to direct you to the Gold Room.

Parking options are as follows (see larger map below):

1. The Parking Deck at the rear of Whitley Hall. Enter the parking deck via the circle in the middle of the Troy campus. Exit the traffic circle at 9:00 o’clock if coming off Montgomery Street or 3:00 o’clock if coming off Church Street, passing behind the Davis Theater. Park on the second level to gain immediate access to the second floor.

2. There are several open parking lots around the circle on the Troy campus.
