Directions to FRAC Club Meeting Location
Stuckey Building at UGA Griffin Campus - Georgia Experiment Station

  • Directions to meeting From Hampton and North of Griffin:
    • Continue to the first stoplight in Spalding County. Coming up a long sloping hill, a car wash is on the left; a shopping mall (BigLots and Belk's) and a McDonald's, on the right. Get into the left lane; turn left at the stoplight onto McIntosh Road. When on McIntosh Road, bear to the right, continue to the next stoplight and go straight onto Experiment Street. This intersection is more of an "X." Travel about .6 mile on Experiment Street to a three-way stoplight. Continue straight, cross railroad tracks (now paved over, but they can be seen on either side of the road). Continue straight on Experiment Street to the main entrance on the right. Upon entering the campus, the Stuckey Building is on the right. The gate will be closed so park in the outside lot and go through the walk in gate.
  • Directions to meeting from South of Griffin:
    • The third main stoplight in Griffin is the intersection of Highway 16 (Taylor Street) and Hill Street. First Baptist Church is on the left corner. Continue for two more stoplights to 10th Street. A bank will be on the right side; Chevron and Amoco gas stations are across the intersection. Turn right onto 10th Street and continue to the second stoplight (Broad Street). Turn left onto Broad Street and immediately veer right onto Experiment Street. Continue on Experiment Street approximately 2 miles to the Griffin Campus/Georgia Experiment Station. After passing an electrical substation and the Griffin Campus turf plots on your left, you will reach the main entrance to the Griffin Campus; turn left into the campus.
