Code4Lib North is happening on the second floor of Morisset Hall in room MRT 248. This is on the administrative level of the library. If you are coming from the basement entrance, take two flights of stairs up to the entrance marked "Office of the Chief Librarian", walk past the reception desk and head for the large meeting room. We'll be posting as many signs as we can and will also have volunteers on site to point you the right way.
There is no public access to the second floor from inside the library itself.

To access the library itself, as well as the breakout rooms in the Media Library by elevator:
Use the elevators from Level 0 in Morisset Hall (2nd floor elevators also go to 0). From 0, use the intercom to call the library. A staff member will answer and come down in the designated elevator to greet and accompany you back up to the library entrance.
