Our Location

     

We are located in the basement level, underneath the Main Library, between the Office of Academic Support Services and the Computer Science Department. Take the stairs from the podium level on the north side of the Library building (the right side as you are looking at the main entrance) that go down into the courtyard area. Enter the door underneath the stairs and follow the signs to the right for LI 70, down the corridor on the left.
