How to Find Alyson's Office
The directions below should be helpful, but if they aren't clear try using a campus map to find the physics complex and a map of the third floor of the Physics and Astronomy building to find my office (B333).

Start at the peanut looking sculpture outside the physics buildings, facing the tallest of the physics buildings.

Enter the long, squat building to your right through the set of doors to the left of 3 rows of bike racks.

Once inside the doors, the second door on your left is an elevator. Take it to the third floor.

Upon exiting the elevator on the third floor you should find a set of double doors to your immediate right. Go through them and turn right.

Continue down the long hallway until you get to my office, B333. It will be on the left side of the hall, with my name posted next to the door.
