* Directions to Boelter Hall & the Rice Room: Enter the Engineering IV building and take the elevator to the 4th floor (where Prof. Abdou’s office is located). As you get out of the Engineering IV elevator, turn right. You will see a set of glass doors at the end of the hallway. Go through these doors and across the bridge to Boelter Hall. Enter Boelter Hall and continue to walk straight. You will immediately see an elevator on your left hand side. Take the elevator to the 6th floor. The Rice Room (rm. 6764) is directly across from the elevators.
