Entrance
The ramp entering Main Hall is in the South Loggia. The automatic door opener is to the left of the door, underneath the p-card card panel. The automatic door opener is about 3 feet off the ground.
This ramp area in the South Loggia can be accessed from South Campus or from the East Street side. The ramp leading down to Gardner Hall and subsequently to Bob’s is too steep to navigate safely with a chair.

Main Hall Elevator
The elevator is very narrow and may not be able to accommodate all chairs. Take the elevator to the basement. Once in the basement, the door to Bob’s is the right-most door on the wall to your right. There is also a sign that says Bob’s Underground.
The entrance to Bob’s is propped open if there is an event. After entering the doors, there is a hallway with a gently downward sloping ramp that will take you to the space; note that there are no handrails.
