Directions

If you are walking to our office, stand in front of the Main Library, facing the library. Turn right and walk around the side of the library. As you turn the corner, you will see a sunken courtyard to your right. Take the stairs down that courtyard and then, underneath the stairs you just descended, you will see double doors. Walk through those doors and then you will be standing in front of our office suite.

If you are a person who has mobility issues, take the podium elevator to the mezzanine level. When you leave the elevator, go toward the library stairs. You will go through the glass door that leads to those stairs and make a right in front of the stairs to go toward the EOP entrance. Enter through the doors to the EOP offices, and take your first left. At the end of the hall you will turn right. Go through the doors at the end of that hallway and you will find our office suite on your right.
