Mellon Institute Auditorium

This location is a 15- or 20-minute walk from campus. You will need to enter the building through the security entrance on Bellefield Avenue (which is on opposite side of the building from campus). To see a picture of where you're going, do a Google Maps search for "306 S. Bellefield Ave., 15213" and press the "Street View" button. Once you pass the guard station, a sign will direct you down stairs to your right; at the bottom of the stairs make a 180-degree turn to your right and you will be facing the auditorium doors. The Mellon Institute has a no-food/no-drink policy for that room. The room will be available starting at 6:00 in case you wish to arrive early.

Wean 7500

This shouldn't be hard to find!

Scaife 125

This is the auditorium with the roof shaped like a Pringles potato chip.
