Where to find the new lab
The new lab is located on floor G of Eshleman Hall on Bancroft Way. Enter through the surface level doors, and take the elevator down to level G. Then walk straight down the long hallway. You'll need to show your ID to the staff on duty to enter the lounge area. Go through the door behind the staff desk to enter the Lab.
