The Undergraduate library entrance is located at the North-Eastern corner of
the building. The intersection of the pedestrian only walkways of Williams
Mall and Gullen Mall. Walk straight in and about 20 steps inside you will
see the stairs or take the elevator. Go up to the second floor. The room is
2507.
I would suggest parking along Warren between Anthony Wayne and Cass. Park
at a meter and put lots of quarters in to it. BRING QUARTERS!! The parking
meters do not take dimes or nickels. If you are parking right before 6 pm,
put in enough quarters for the three hours to make it to 9pm. That way you
will not get a ticket. One quarter=20 minutes, so bring 9 quarters (at
least).
Please feel free to call if you have any questions
