NOTE: All references to a map are to the
McCormick Road area map.
Best Western Cavalier Inn is located on the NW corner of
Emmet Street (29 N) and Ivy Road/University.
Budget Inn is located just north of the NE corner of
Emmet Street and Ivy Rd/University Avenue.
The Best Western and Budget Inn are both located just
off the upper right corner of the map. (Ivy Road is the
street running between #45 and #20 on the map, and Emmet Street
(which is labeled in the middle of the map) intersects Ivy close to
the "1" on the right edge of the map.)
From your hotel, head south on Emmet Street, towards
the grounds. You'll pass tennis courts and the parking garage
(#8) on your left, and go under a pedestrian bridge that
links Ruffner Hall (#44 on the map) and Brown College (#6).
Just before the next overpass, turn right and go up the
hill to get onto McCormick Road. When you get to the top,
Thornton Hall (#46) will be right across the street in front of you.
Thornton Hall has five different wings (you want the
E-wing; the Electrical and Computer Engineering department).
Once you're inside, it can be very difficult to navigate, so we don't suggest entering the front of the building. Instead, go around the building to the right. There is a path here. Go down this path. You'll pass the blue and white sign for Chemical Engineering (#9 on map) and the sign for Materials Science and Engineering (#24) on your right.
Go left down the stairs between the signs for Electrical and Computer Engineering and Civil Engineering, and go through the white arch for "Civil Engineering." Keep going straight along the brick path under the white covered walkway all the way to the end.
The doors for the Electrical and Computer Engineering building will be at the end of the walkway on your right. When entering the building, you should see a stairwell and elevator right in front of you. Go up one floor to get to the "3rd floor E-wing." E316 should be one of the first rooms you see. There are two entrances to the room--if one is locked, keep going around the room until you find the other one.
