Getting from the E51 parking lot to Room E51-315

(See below for directions to the building)

E51 has a small parking lot in back, and the back entrance leads to a large elevator. Toward the front of the building is a smaller elevator. E51-315 is directly across from the small elevator.

You can enter E51 from the back entrance by the parking lot, or through the front entrance on the corner of Amherst and Wadsworth Street.

If you enter through the rear entrance, the large elevator is just down the corridor a short distance. With the large elevator to your right, the smaller elevator is at the end of the corridor to your left.

If you enter through the front entrance, on the corner of Amherst and Wadsworth Street, look to the end of the foyer for a stairway leading up, Hidden behind the stairway to the left is the small elevator.

Take the small elevator to the third floor, and room 315 is directly across the corridor.

In the event that the front entrance to E51 is locked, it may be possible to enter through E52 across the street and use the walkway that passes over Wadsworth Street to enter E51.
