  • How to Find Sarah'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 (B337).
    • 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, B337. It will be on the left side of the hall, with my name on a posted next to the door.
