Finding the Center

The Center for MB Studies is located in Hiebert Library, on the campus of Fresno Pacific University and the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary. The most convenient parking for the library is located on the FPU campus at 1717 S. Chestnut Avenue, just south of Butler Avenue. Visitor parking spaces are located directly in front of McDonald Hall, the university's main administrative building, and are marked with green curbs. University parking regulations are enforced during the school year; summer visitors may park anywhere on campus.

Visitors coming to the Center from out of town will most likely enter Fresno on Highway 99. From the south, exit at Chestnut Avenue, turning right onto that street. Fresno Pacific University is on the right side of the street about three miles north. From the north, exit at Highway 180 East. Follow 180 East to its end at Chestnut Avenue. Turn right on Chestnut and drive south for just less than two miles. Soon after crossing Butler Avenue, you will see Fresno Pacific University on your left. Make a U-turn at Hamilton Avenue and return north on Chestnut Avenue to reach the parking lot in front of McDonald Hall.
