Maps and Directions

The Research Forum will be held in the McDonnell Douglas Auditorium. Please note that we anticipate that lot 18/18A will be under construction at this time. Lot 18 C is closest to the McDonnell Douglas Auditorium.

Maps

Campus maps are available.

Parking lot 18C is located in section 8/9 E, near Middle Earth, on the campus map. (On the PDF map on the web, ignore the lot labeled 18C near 18 and 18B - it's mis-labeled. That's really lot 18A, which will be under construction.)

Maps of the area around the Institute and ICS are also available.

McDonnell Douglas Auditorium

The McDonnell Douglas Auditorium (building #311, section 8 E on map) is a red-brick building with an arched copper roof. It is located behind the peach-yellow-gray Engineering Gateway buildings (#321 and 323 on map). The auditorium now has lettering which says: "Henry Samuelli School of Engineering".
