LOST?

There's a map for that.

Campus maps

Here is a link to an official map of the RPI campus.

Although we do not have maps of ADA accessibility on the RPI campus, two RPI students have created two helpful maps. We appreciate their work and creativity!

• This map of campus staircases illustrates the top and bottom of each staircase on the RPI campus.
• This map of campus accessibility includes numerous features including the accessibility features, accessibility issues, and the topography of the main RPI campus.

Russell Sage Laboratory (SAGE)

Most of the time, we will be in the Russell Sage Laboratory building (building no. 6). Specifically, we will be on the fifth floor, the top floor. Bathrooms alternate by floor by gender. We will never be in Russell Sage Dining Hall (building 13).

FYI - If you enter SAGE using the main entrance (notice the stairs and double doors), you enter the building's THIRD floor. Again, the ground floor is (usually) the third floor.

For more information, consult this RPI PDF of the SAGE floor plans.

Darrin Communications Center (DCC)

If we're not in SAGE (or off-campus), we will meet in the Darrin Communications Center (building no. 17). Specifically, we will meet on the first floor, the lowest floor.

For more information, consult these archived PDFs of the first floor, second floor, and third floor of DCC.
