The competition, itself, will be in Wean Hall. All of the contest-related
events, except the banquet, will be in either Wean Hall or Newell Simon
Hall. This is fortunate, because these two buildings are connected via
a bridge on the 4th floor. The banquet will be in the
Schatz Faculty Dining Room on the second floor of the University Center,
which is located next door to the parking garage.
To find Wean Hall from the Parking Garage, exit in the direction of
the campus (Not the Forbes Ave exit). If you find yourself in front
of the stadium, walk underneath the bleachers, with the garage on your
right and the stadium on your left. If you see Forbes Ave, you are at
the wrong exit, turn around and walk to your right.
Regardless of how you get there, you will see a driveway another building
in front of you and slightly to your left. That is the University Center.
Walk through or around this building to the other side. You will see
a lawn separating you from a building of a similar architecture, this is
Purnell Hall. To the left of Purnell Hall is Doherty Hall. You might
notice a short piece of fence, painted by students, in front of Doherty
Hall. Walk along through or along Doherty hall to the next building.
This is Wean Hall. You will notice that it is concrete and quite ugly
We apologize for this.
Enter Wean Hall under the overhang near the oragnge modern art.
You are in the Wean Hall lobby on the 5th floor.
Registration will occur in this area. The contest and practice session
will occur in the 54xx corridor to the right.
During the actual contest, we'll try to play movies for the coaches
and the reserves. This will be in WeH 7500, a large auditorium.
To get to WeH 7500 from the 5th floor lobby, take an
elevator up to the 7th floor. The auditorium is directly
in front of the elevators, with doors on the left and right.
There is a conference room on the same floor, WeH 7220, that has been
reserved for "hang out space". It might be particularly nice for
those uninterested in the movies.
The Pizza Party and Q&A will occur in the Perlis Atrium of Newell Simon
Hall. To get there, take the elevators from the 5th floor
of Wean Hall down to the 4th floor. Walk around the elevators
so that you are facing the opposite way and you will find a bridge leading
to the 4th floor of Newell Simon Hall. This is an indoor
bridge. After crossing the bridge, you will see a staircase leading
downward. This staircase overlooks the Atrium. Just head down and in.
If you would prefer, there is an elevator opposite the staircase, you
can take it down to the 3rd floor.
To get back to the Parking Garage, just reverse the directions. Head
from Newell Simon back to the 5th floor of Wean and then
walk outside along Wean and Doherty or inside through Doherty, across
the lawn, in front of the University Center, and into the garage.
On the map below, the parking garage is labeled "P5", Wean Hall is labeled
"12", and Newell-Simon Hall is labeled "28".
