Step 1:

Go to the CSAIL web site for information on how to find the Stata Center.

Step 2:

When you come in to the Stata Center (see above) you will be on the first floor (the so-called Student Street). Find the end of the builidng near the entrance closest to the intersection of Main Street and Vassar Street. It is near the food court.

Find the bank of elevators that go into the Gates Tower. Take those elevators to the 5th floor.

When you exit the elevators, walk forward and then turn right, as will be obvious. Walk until you can turn right. Turn right. There should be a kitchen area on your right. Walk until you pass through a door. Turn right. Walk. You will reach a corner where you have to turn left. Turn left. Walk. Don't panic. When you hit a wall, my office is one office to the right. (What you have done is walk around behind the elevators.)

My office number is 32-G536. For those of you who like to decode things:

• Building 32 is the Stata Center.
• G is for Gates
• 5 is for the 5th floor.
• 36 is the room number on the floor.

The CSAIL web site has maps of the floors. But these instructions will lead you to my office with little pain.
