Getting to Capen 201A
Finding Capen 201A could be a bit hard for outsiders. It is inside the Silverman library and below are some walking directions from the Fronczak Lot:
- Make your way towards Capen hall. It will be a to your left from the parking lot.
- There is some construction going on Capen Hall but both entrances should be open.
- You will see Capen 1 right in front if you go through the main entrance (which would be right behind where the construction is going on). Either take the elevators or the stairway to the left of Capen 1 and go up one floor.
- Enter the library through the glass doors and take two consecutive right turns. You will see a bank of elevator to your right or a flight of stairs (behind doors) on your left. Take either of the two to go up one more floor. Do not use the elevator next to Capen 1 two floors up as you will not be able to get inside the library from there.
- If you take the stairs from last step, Capen 201A will be right next to where you enter that floor. If you take the elevator from last step, you want to go straight and Capen 201A will be on your right.
