See the "more info" link.

At RIT, take the outer loop road all the way around the back of the campus to parking lot "U". Park there, walk to the school end of the lot and then left past the bus stop. Gosnell building is the one straight past the bus stop; has a little "control tower" looking structure on top. Go in the first floor door; we're in the first room on the right. See you there!
