Please note that pedestrian traffic has been completely re-routed around the old entrance to the L-building.

Pedestrians are reminded to use the temporary entrances. There is a handicapped ramp at the entrance between the L and Evans buildings. This doorway also may be used as the temporary main entrance for the entire complex. L-building occupants may use the door closest to East Concord Street as shown in image C. There is an ID-card reader installed to allow access as well as a vision panel so that people on either side of the door are visible. Visitors to A-Building may enter the complex through the new temporary entrance between the L and Evans buildings. They may take the L-building elevators to the basement and follow the hall past Chequers to the staircase at the end of the hall on the right. Then visitors may take these stairs to the first floor and follow the corridor past Bakst Auditorium to the A-building elevators.
