Directions and location of Harris hall:
Harris is at the corner where Sheridan, after running east-west at the south end of campus, turns back to a north-south road. Or, its at the corner when Chicago Ave. merges with or turns into Sheridan. The address is 1881 Sheridan Rd, but you can find buildings on the campus by using the maps or asking a student Harris is also due west of the parking lot that is by the lake at the south end of the campus--folks should walk west from the parking lot until they reach the last building on the left --if they go any father, they'll reach Sheridan Rd.
