How to find ET&L
ET&L is located on the second floor of the Engineering Annex (EGA), behind the Mechanical Engineering Building. From Stevens Way, follow the driveway between the Mechanical Engineering Building and Loew Hall and take the metal stairs to enter the Engineering Annex at the second floor.
We regret that the second floor of the Engineering Annex, an older building, has only stairway access. Please contact us if you wish to make alternative arrangements. We would be happy to meet you at a more convenient location.
NOTE: The Engineering Annex's exterior doors are locked at all times. Please make arrangements to have us meet you at the door.
