Directions to the lab

  • Our lab is on the corner of 15th Ave NE and Pacific St, right off of the Burke Gilman. Start by getting to the red X on the map above, the Physics courtyard.
  • Enter the PAB through the door that opens up into the physics courtyard and has the address number above it (3900), and the equation F=ma to the right of the door.
  • Walk in and take the nearest elevators down to the basement.
  • Take a right out of the elevator, and follow signs for the glass shop.
  • Go pass the glass shop. Right before that exit door you’ll see a door with a “Department of Zoology – DO NOT ENTER – alarm will sound” sign. That’s us! No alarm will sound.
