Located adjacent to Pearce Church (host site of several past Genesis events), Roberts Wesleyan University is situated approximately 12 miles west of downtown Rochester, NY in the town of North Chili.
Registration and most of the AC '26 events will be held in the Roberts Cultural Life Center, which shares a parking lot with Pearce and is accessible from both Buffalo Road and Orchard Street. The CLC is a two-story building with an elevator, but the best handicap accessibility is found in the circle drive at the lower level (from Buffalo Road and pictured to the left).
Some of our workshops will be held in the Smith Science Center, which is next to the CLC, and our meals will be in the Garlock Dining Commons on the opposite end of the main walk of the campus. Garlock parking, if needed, is accessible from Westside Drive.
A virtual campus visit, list of local hotels and more information about the campus are available on the Roberts Wesleyan website, accessible here:
