When traveling from the North via West Springfield side you will need to cross the railroad tracks to enter the Mill City complex. Train traffic is intermittent and occasionally a train may be moving slowly or stopped on the tracks. If you get stuck for too long go around the Agawam way. Please be patient and exercise caution navigating the train tracks.
​​
-
The Big E (West Springfield) takes place annually in September, leading to more congested traffic, especially if traveling via Agawam. Please plan accordingly and allow more travel time when coming to class.
