Once You're Inside / Where is So-and-So?
There are three floors, but confusingly both the first and second are "ground floors": since it's built on a knoll the first floor is the ground floor on the front side (towards campus) and the second floor is the ground floor on the back side (away from campus). Among the rooms at CCRMA most public events take place in the Stage (3rd floor, #317), Classroom (2nd floor, #217), or Seminar Room (3rd floor, #315). If you don't know exactly where you're going, we recommend you come to central second floor area ("Grand Central Station", #211) or the central third floor area (Lounge, #313, which is also a nice place to sit if you need to wait a few minutes), where you can often find people who usually know where to find whomever you're meeting.
