By Foot: Walk to the corner of College Avenue and St. John’s Street. Proceed diagonally onto the campus, up the hill towards McDowell Hall. Bear to the left of McDowell Hall, walk across the Quad and down the stairs towards the large lawn facing the creek. The Mitchell Art Museum will be diagonally on your left as you descend the stairs.

At the sidewalk, turn right and travel under the concrete awning (the egg-shaped planetarium will be on your left) and continue straight ahead. Pass the building extension with the floor-to-ceiling corner windows. Turn right through the double doors.
